Other Desert Cities at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati

A new play by the creator of TV's hit drama Brothers & Sisters, this searing comedy was named the Outstanding Play by the Outer Critics Circle and called "the best new play on Broadway" by The New York Times. When a once-promising novelist returns home to Palm Springs to visit her parents, conflict ensues after she reveals the imminent publication of her juicy tell-all memoir—a book that focuses on the politically explosive and tragic death of her antiwar-activist brother. With her parents trying to cling to their Reaganesque social status, the family is thrown into turmoil and must come to grips with its painful past. This critically acclaimed new play crackles with wit, razor-sharp one-liners, a fierce cast of characters, and a storyline that grabs you from the opening scene to its riveting conclusion.
