In a futuristic city, one man tells it like he sees it - Hungry Mother! He's the DJ with a strong pulse but a weak signal. He riffs on the truth with verbal virtuosity, with primal passion, with ambidextrous dexterity, with a sexy scream ... but when his visions begin to manifest themselves in sinister ways, is he being played by darker forces?

Description
In a futuristic city, one man tells it like he sees it - Hungry Mother! He's the DJ with a strong pulse but a weak signal. He riffs on the truth with verbal virtuosity, with primal passion, with ambidextrous dexterity, with a sexy scream ... but when his visions begin to manifest themselves in sinister ways, is he being played by darker forces? Or are his words creating a dangerous truth? "Down at the bottom of your radio dial is a station with a weak signal but a strong message. The man behind the message calls himself Hungry Mother, and he's a disc jockey with a difference. In NATIVE SPEECH, the difference is playwright Eric Overmyer's chilling vision of a society about to go belly up ... NATIVE SPEECH shapes its ideas through a network of rich visual and verbal images rather than resorting to logic. Overmyer has created a wonderful hip language for Hungry to speak, and it never dies in his mouth no matter how surreal the psychic terrain through which we move. As in all good cautionary tales, the unspoken word behind the story is: beware." -Jay Reiner, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner
