The Name of this Play is Talking Heads - Softcover

It was supposed to be a routine promotional appearance: an aspiring writer appears on a cable news or entertainment network to film a talking heads expert spot in order to promote one of his recently published articles. When face to face with the routine manipulations and blunt agendas that elicit the soundbytes we routinely see as part of our daily info-tainment, he is horrified and decides to rebel, only to realize that he is essentially violating the order of the entertainment universe and there are rewards for playing the game and deadly consequences for resisting. You will never watch an I Love the 90s episode again without wondering what’s going on behind the scenes.

"Mr. Spitz has written racy, insidery plays about junkies, pimps and rock stars. They were sloppy, but it didn’t matter. Who wants a well made play about pornography or Joy Division’s Ian Curtis anyway?"
