Other Desert Cities

Other Desert Cities by Jon Robin Baitz

Neath Little Theatre is proud to present the UK amateur premier of this award winning, highly acclaimed play.

After a six-year absence, Brooke Wyeth returns to her Republican parents’ Palm Springs enclave for the holidays. But the warm desert air turns chilly when news of her upcoming memoir threatens to revive the most painful chapter of the family’s history. Perception and reality grapple with love and mercy as old family wounds are opened, childhood memories are tested, and the Wyeth clan learns that some secrets cannot stay buried forever.

Full of surprisingly touching moments, Pulitzer Prize nominee Jon Robin Baitz brings dysfunctional family drama to new heights in this witty, deeply enjoyable work described as “one of the best new plays of the decade.”
