Talk Radio hit Broadway again February 25 with the revival of the Pulitzer Prize nominated play by Eric Bogosian, starring Liev Schreiber (Cotton Weary from the Scream Trilogy), as a controversial late night talk radio host.

«Ads for the upcoming Broadway revival of Eric Bogosian's play have been rejected by a number of radio stations. The reason is that the spots contain a phrase from the play: 'pet's orgasm'.»

Eric Bogosian’s Pulitzer Prize Nominated play TALK RADIO, about a controversial late night talk radio host, will begin performances on Broadway at the Longacre Theater (220 West 48th Street) on Sunday, February 15th. The production will be directed by Robert Falls, whose credits include Death of a Salesman (Tony Award), Long Day’s Journey Into Night and Shining City.

Liev Schreiber will play Barry Champlain, the vituperative and mesmerizing radio host. He was last seen on Broadway in the Tony Award-winning revival of Glengarry Glen Ross, for which he received the Best Featured Actor award for his portrayal of Ricky Roma. His other recent stage credits include Macbeth, Harold Pinter’s Betrayal, and Neil LaBute’s The Mercy Seat.

Liev will be joined by such talents as Peter Hermann â€ūLaw & Order,” â€ūUnited 93,” Erik Jensen â€ūLaw & Order,” The Exonerated, and Stephanie March â€ūLaw & Order: SVU” & Death Of A Salesman.
