Other Desert Cities

Written by Jon Robin Baitz.
Directed by David Gilmore.

After suffering a nervous breakdown, novelist Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs for the holidays for the first time in six years. However, news of the impending release of her memoir illuminating long-buried family secrets threatens to shatter the carefully constructed illusion of a picture perfect family. Written by Jon Robin Baitz (creator of television’s Brothers and Sisters), Other Desert Cities garnered five Tony nominations and was awarded Outstanding Play by the Outer Critic’s Circle.  Crackling wit, sharp political observation and richly drawn relationships ask the question is blood thicker than the truth?
