Black Swan and Queensland Theatres to Present OTHER DESERT CITIES, July 20-Aug 4

After a six-year absence, Brooke returns to her parents' home in Palm Springs, California, with a bombshell. She is about to publish a memoir about a terrible event in her family's past, a tragedy that her parents do not want to remember.

Brooke has come home to draw a line in the sand and is daring her family to cross it. Her brother won't play her game; her aunt knows way too much and her parents fall into all their old routines as they plead with her to keep their story quiet. In this family, secrets are currency and everyone is rich.

Other Desert Cities is about a girl who comes home with a story about where she is from, who her people really are, what she thinks they really are. Her parents represent an Establishment that she feels has betrayed her country. She goes to war with them and blood is spilled.
