Actors Theatre of San Francisco presents Talk Radio. Eric Bogosian's 1987 breakthrough hit play follows abrasive, egotistical radio-show host Barry Champlain, whose edgy, argumentative style has earned him national syndication. On the eve of his talk radio show going national, Champlain -- fueled as always by coffee, cocaine and Jack Daniel's -- slowly descends into madness as he becomes overwhelmed by the stupidity and ignorance of his callers. His verbal jousts with his unseen callers, which range from a white supremacist to a woman obsessed with her garbage disposal, are peppered with insights into his character from his ex-deejay pal and his sometime girlfriend/producer, and punctuated with a transformative visit from an embodied voice. It's a passionate, funny, sharply-written drama, credited by many with foreshadowing the talk radio boom of the 1990s. Learn More

The 6:00 seating at Dennis Leary's "Canteen" is a great way to start the evening.

Written on Sep 10 2012Excellent storyline and good acting.
The plot is relevant today in the US even though that is not the setting.
Intimate theatre setting.

Written on Sep 10 2012The set and costumes were well done. I think the actors tried hard but the play itself is not great. It drags on and on considering it is 90 minutes. I am not sure why this theater company chose to do this play. The issues it raises are interesting but the dialogue is unimpressive and boring. On the plus side, I think that the actors captured the characters very well.

Written on Aug 31 2012This is definitely a period piece and not the sort of thing you go to if you are looking for a laugh. The actress who played Miss Julie was excellent.

About the Ticket Supplier: Actors Theatre of San Francisco
Founded in August of 1989 by a group of professional actors and directors who shared a common desire to produce ensemble theatre works, the founding members of the Actors Theatre of San Francisco committed themselves to creating a permanent repertory company whose work would reflect their ideals of ensemble theatre: a theatre where all the participants share the same artistic vision, have a unified approach to the rehearsal process and a desire to create revelatory theatre that surpasses their desire for individual gain. The founding members gave themselves no restriction as to style, content or period. Instead, they committed themselves to producing theatre that is designed to enlighten and illuminate the human condition.
