"The finest American playwright of his generation" (Sunday Times)
Glen Garry Glen Ross (also made in to a film starring Jack Lemmon
and Al Pacino) "his superb play about real estate salesmen in a
cut-throat sales competition" (New Society); in Prairie du Chien a
railway carriage speeding through the Wisconsin night is the
setting for a violent story of obsessive jealousy, murder and
suicide, told within shooting distance of a card-hustler and his
victim. "A short poignant study in violence and the twin drives of
love and money, told with hypnotic power thorugh a travelling
raconteur" (City Limits); The Shawl shows a clairvoyant wondering
whether to cheat a bereaved woman of her inheritance and "confirms
Mamet's place as about the best living writer of vivid American
dialogue" (Daily Telegraph). Set in the cut-throat world of
Hollywood, Speed-the-Plow sees two old-time movie collaborators
manipulate the aspirations of a young woman who will do anything to
attain her dream of success "a brilliant black comedy, a dazzling
dissection of Hollywood cupidity." (Newsweek)
