The drama is set in the studio of Cleveland’s WTLK Radio over the course of Barry Champlain’s two-hour broadcast, being scrutinized that night by producers with an interest in taking the show national, and fueled as always by coffee, cocaine, and Jack Daniel’s. Barry’s jousts with his unseen callers—ranging 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEric Bogosian \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer and actor who over the last twenty years has authored five full-length plays and created six full-length solos for himself, including \u003ci\u003esubUrbia\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eSex, Drugs, Rock \u0026amp; Roll\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003ePounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead\u003c\/i\u003e;\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDrinking in America\u003c\/i\u003e.
