SubUrbia
Written by Eric Bogosian
Date premiered April 27, 1994 (1994-04-27)
Place premiered Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater

SubUrbia is a play by Eric Bogosian chronicling the nighttime activities of a group of aimless 20-somethings still living in their suburban New Jersey hometown and their reunion with a former high school classmate who has become a successful musician. The musician Pony's return strips away illusions and excuse to reveal the meaningless dead-end existences of everyone. It's maybe considered a slacker version of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh.

Productions

The play was originally produced at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater of the Lincoln Center Theater from April 27 through August 28, 1994, featuring Martha Plimpton, Josh Hamilton and Steve Zahn. The director Robert Falls won a 1994-1995 OBIE Award for the production.[1] It was presented in 2006 at Second Stage Theatre with Kieran Culkin, Gaby Hoffmann and Jessica Capshaw, and was directed by Jo Bonney.[2] A film version was made in 1996 starring Steve Zahn, Parker Posey and Giovanni Ribisi.[3]
