“Who needs caffeine when
you’ve got Glengarry Glen Ross? … David Mamet’s play about a dog-eat-dog
real estate office in Chicago feels like having espresso pumped directly into
your bloodstream…. Mr. Mamet hears American scheming with an exactitude and
delight still surpassed by any other dramatist.” – New York Times.
Winner of the 1984
Pulitzer Prize for Drama, as well as the New York Drama Critic’s Circle Award
for Best American Play and the Drama Desk and Tony Awards for Best American
Play and the Drama Desk and Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Play, Glengarry
Glen Ross is one of the most celebrated and widely performed plays of
recent years. It is a scalding comedy is about small-time, cutthroat real esate
salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land onto reluctant
buyers in a never-ending scramble for their fair share of the American dream.
Here, Mamet is at his very best, writing with brutal power about the tough life
of tough people who cajole, connive, wheel and deal for a piece of the action an
existence where closing a sale can mean a brand-new Cadillac, but losing one
can mean losing it everything.
“Wonderfully
funny … a play to see, remember and cherish.” – New York Post.
