Mamet Plays: 5 / David Mamet

methuen I drama contemporary dramatists

DAVID MAMET: ‘No modern playwright has been bolder or more brilliant.’ New Yorker

Boston Marriage: This comedy-of-errors is new territory for David Mamet. Anna and Claire arc ladies of fashion who have long lived together on the edges of upper-class society. ‘[Mamet’s characters] are at each other’s throats with a wit akin to characters out of Wilde and a vengeance not unlike those from Pinter or Edward Albee.’ Boston Globe

Faustus: Combining resplendent language and metaphysics, Mamet offers a daring retelling of the Faustus story, a famed philosopher in his prime stakes the life of his family on the accuracy and authenticity of this magnum opus. What begins as a quest for immortality becomes an exploration of life’s most important and fragile treasures.

Romance: An uproarious courtroom farce, which lampoons the American judicial system and exposes the hypocrisy surrounding personal prejudices and political correctness. ‘It made me weep with delight. . . . Romance is funny. Extremely funny.’ Wall Street Journal
