Valparaiso
Author(s):
Don Delillo
THE STORY: 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 becomes a figure of some celebrity as he relives his experience in a series of intense and sometimes surreal interviews. It becomes gradually clear that 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. Don DeLillo’s second play is funny, profound and discomfiting. It makes poetry out of routine airline announcements and imagines a world--ours--in which everything melts repeatedly into something else, as if driven by the finger on the TV remote.
