In the wake of the tragedy at Columbine, and the war on Iraq, Eric Bogosian's explosive provocative and gripping play, Suburbia, is as painfully relevant today as it was when it was orginally performed in 1995. Set against the backdrop of a fractured American Dream, the play depicts the bitter rage and frustration of a group of lonely young people living in a suburban community desperately searching for a meaning to their lives. Lost without any sense of leadership or direction, their anger turns to violence as they fight against the futility of values that they can't understand and refuse to accept.
