Valparaiso
written by Don DeLillo
directed by Jesse Young
"Because this is the subject. This is the object. We take every stray moment and follow it to the last dripping shiver. Because it's more, it's less, it's better, it's faster, it's true."
Michael Majeski boards a plane bound for Valparaiso, Indiana but ends up in Valparaiso, Chile instead. What was to be an ordinary business trip has turned into a major misadventure, and Michael relives his experience in a series of intense and sometimes surreal interviews.
There are problems with the story Michael tells, a certain touchy matter involving his wife and a dark spectacle in the making as he enters the interrogation chamber of the daytime talk show, in which nothing remains unseen, nothing is left unsaid. "A fascinating study of celebrity and its dark path to desperation." - The Boston Herald (synopsis courtesy of Dramatists Play Service Inc.)
