Bogosian is the author of the plays Talk Radio, SubUrbia, Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll,  Pounding Nails in the Floor with My Forehead, and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. His novel Mall was published by Simon & Schuster last fall. His new play Humpty Dumpty will have its world premiere at the McCarter Theater in Princeton this spring.
