A businessman bound for Valparaiso, Indiana, winds up in Valparaíso, Chile, instead. A mock-heroic journey toward identity and transcendence, replete with a Greek chorus, as the central character is condemned to relive his destination mishap under the glare of publicity in a series of TV talk shows. Don DeLillo's second play received its premiere at the American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts in early 1999. "Valparaiso is art at its finest." –Boston Globe
