In Jon Robin Baitz’s new play, “Other Desert Cities,” a novelist returns home to her prominent California Republican parents with the manuscript of a new book – a memoir filled with very dirty laundry.

Baitz created ABC’s “Brothers and Sisters,” about a grown-up family full of smart, strong personalities in crisis.
