Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"A gut-grabbing revival. Live Schreiber is playing Barry Champlain, an abrasive radio talk show host who, as another character puts it, has seen the face of God 'in the mirror.' In the course of one eventful night, Barry will be forced to confront another, less august image of himself... the most lacerating portrait of a human meltdown this side of a Francis Bacon painting. Like the original production, which starred Mr. Bogosian as Barry, it allows the star to grab an audience by the lapels and shake it into submission." -- Ben Brantley, New York Times

"More timely today than it was twenty years ago... Radio crackles with intensity." -- Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News

"Pure Theatrical Adrenaline." -- Time Out New York

"Imagine Lenny Bruce at the height of his notoriety becoming a popular talk show host and you may begin to have an idea of the whiplash intensity and black, hard edged cynicism of Talk Radio." -- Mel Gussow, New York Times

"Hypnotic! Both as an actor's tour-de-force and a stinging cultural analysis." -- David Rooney, Variety

"Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio is just about the best theatrical expression of our fucked-up culture that I know." -- John Hellpern, New York Observer
