Synopsis

Talk Radio is a play written by Eric Bogosian that follows the story of Barry Champlain, a controversial radio talk show host. Barry's show becomes increasingly popular as he pushes the boundaries of what is acceptable on the airwaves, discussing topics such as politics, religion, and social issues.

As Barry's fame grows, he begins to attract both devoted fans and fervent critics. The play explores the consequences of Barry's provocative style, as well as the toll it takes on his personal life. Barry's relationships with his colleagues, listeners, and girlfriend are all put to the test as he navigates the world of talk radio.

Talk Radio delves into themes of free speech, censorship, and the power of media to shape public opinion. The play offers a thought-provoking look at the role of the media in society and the ethical dilemmas faced by those who seek to push the boundaries of public discourse.
