"Other Desert Cities" by Jon Robin Baitz was originally titled "Love and Mercy," and you ll find both in the script, according to Smokehouse Players founders Terry Vaughan and Tim Gilster. The drama, on stage Nov. 9-11 in Fayetteville, promises to be sometimes hilarious, sometimes mysterious, often poignant and thought provoking from beginning to end. Vaughan says everything the audience thinks at the beginning will be turned upside at least once as secrets are revealed in a family "whose history has been based entirely on lies."
At the end of "Survival of the Unfit," you won t walk out of Arkansas Public Theatre laughing and singing. This isn t "Little Shop of Horrors." But there is something inhuman vile, grotesque, maybe even monstrous growing in the little suburban household of playwright Oren Safdie s imagination. It deserves to be seen, explored and perhaps a lesson learned that might keep it from proliferating in other households elsewhere.
