Description

100% pure high octane Bogosian.Bogosians latest and greatest monologue."His wit is as venomous as ever; his material even more devastating and polished than before."mdash;New York Daily News"Bogosian hasnt simply crossed the line of good taste; he has snorted it."mdash;The Daily TexanWake Up is Bogosians meditation on making it to the top of the ladder; on falling off the ladder and on the exhilarating thrill of the ultimate crash and burn. Once again the author offers a blisteringly funny and dead-on take of the chaos and alienation of post-modern life in the U. S. of the year 2000. As Michael Feingold so ably offered in his Village Voice reviewmdash;"Bogosian is there; watching out for the downtrodden; ridiculing the arrogant rich; defending battered wives and neo-hippie hitchhikers and never losing sight of his own capacity for being classed among the batters and bullies. But his 95 minutes is as fast and exciting a read as the theatre community offers. In our time; the stage has almost been what classical thinkers saw it as; a medium for criticizing life. How perfect that a solo performer should rediscover its roots; by choosing his own life as the object of his criticism."Eric Bogosian; born in Woburn; Massachusetts; has performed his plays and monologues at venues nationwide. Winner of Obie and Drama Desk Awards; he has made four films of his work; most notably Talk Radio and Suburbia. His novel Mall was recently published by Simon and Schuster.
