In OTHER DESERT CITIES, Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs
to visit her parents after a six-year absence. A once-promising
novelist, she announces to her family the imminent publication of a
memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family's
history - a wound that her parents don't want reopened. 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. In simplest terms, the play is
about a girl who comes home to the desert 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 this country. She goes to war with them, and blood is
spilled.
