Drama / Characters: 3 male Scenery: Interior Best American Play,
New York Drama Critics' Circle Award during the 1976-77 season,
this volatile drama starred Robert Duvall in the original Broadway
production and has seen revivals with Al Pacino and most recently
on Broadway with John Leguizamo in 2008. In a Chicago junk shop
three small time crooks plot to rob a man of his coin collection,
the showpiece of which is a valuable "Buffalo nickel". These
high-minded grifters fancy themselves businessmen pursuing
legitimate free enterprise. But the reality of the three- Donny,
the oafish junk shop owner; Bobby, a young junkie Donny has taken
under his wing and "Teach", a violently paranoid braggart- is that
they are merely pawns caught up in their own game of last-chance,
dead-end, empty pipe dreams. "Gripping drama"-The New York Times
"Mamet is an actor's playwright...[He] senses the possibilities
inarticulateness affords a savvy actor."-Women's Wear Daily "It
isn't often that a play with a dramatic intensity of American
Buffalo comes to the Broadway theatre."-New York Post
