Interesting article about Other Desert Cities

in the LATimes yesterday. I'm mostly posting because of this passage--

Baitz doesn't encounter any such problem in "Cities," which leaves no psychological stone unturned in telling of a Waspish Palm Springs family during a Christmas homecoming. Transferred from Lincoln Center's Mitzi Newhouse Theater and directed by Joe Mantello, Baitz's former life partner and his frequent theater collaborator, "Cities" offers a full-color portrait of guilt, blame and, occasionally, redemption.

--only because I'm amused by the phrase "former life partner."
