Talk Radio was first seen at The Public Theater in 1987, with Bogosian in the starring role. The play concerns a controversial radio host who becomes overwhelmed by the hatred that surrounds his program just before it goes national. Oliver Stone directed the 1988 film version, in which Bogosian recreated his original role. Bogosian’s other plays include subUrbia and Pounding Nails in the Floor With My Forehead.
