Mamet's ground-breaking and controversial play on the male-female
power struggle, annotated with an introduction, notes and
commentary. "An ear for reproducing everyday language has long been
David Mamet's hallmark and he has now employed it to skewer the
dogmatic, puritannical streak which has become commonplace on and
off the campus. With Oleanna he continues an exploration of
male-female conflicts begun with Sexual Perversity in Chicago in
1974. Oleanna cogently demonstrates that when free thought and
dialogue are imperilled, nobody wins." (Michael Wise, Independent)
In Oleanna "John and Carol go to it with hand-to hand combat that
amounts to a primal struggle for power. As usual with Mamet, the
vehicle for that combat is crackling, highly distilled dialogue
unencumbered by literary frills or phony theatrical ones." (Frank
Rich, International Herald Tribune)
