Drama / Characters: 3 males, 1 female / Interior set / Multiple
Award-winning playwright/director David Mamet tackles America's
most controversial topic in a provocative new tale of sex, guilt
and bold accusations. Two lawyers find themselves defending a
wealthy white executive charged with raping a black woman. When a
new legal assistant gets involved in the case, the opinions that
boil beneath explode to the surface. When David Mamet turns the
spotlight on what we think but can't say, dangerous truths are
revealed, and no punches are spared. "Scapel-edged intelligence "
-New York Times "Provocative and profane " -NY-1 "Mamet is most
concerned with the power and treachery of language: a line of
dialogue vital to the prosecution case is cynically rewritten by
the defense. Mamet's larger contention is that attempts to create a
more equal and tolerant society have made race an unsayable
word...brilliantly contrives here a moment in which the single most
taboo sexual expletive is ignored by an audience which then gasps
at the word "black..".Mamet remains American theatre's most urgent
five-letter word." -The Guardian Intellectually
salacious...Gripping...rapid-fire Mametian style...Mamet's new play
argues, everything in America - and this play throws sex, rape, the
law, employment and relationships into its 90 minutes of stage
wrangling - is still about race." -Chcago Tribune "There is
intrigue within intrigue, showing how personal prejudice and
individual missteps govern the course of things...Mamet adroitly
mixes comic darts with tragic arrows." -Bloomberg News
