DAVID MAMET: ‘No modern playwright has been bolder or more brilliant.’ New Yorker

Boston



Marriage: This comedy-of-errors is new territory for David Mamet. Anna



and Claire arc ladies of fashion who have long lived together on the



edges of upper-class society. ‘[Mamet’s characters] are at each other’s



throats with a wit akin to characters out of Wilde and a vengeance not



unlike those from Pinter or Edward Albee.’ Boston Globe

Faustus:



Combining resplendent language and metaphysics, Mamet offers a daring



retelling of the Faustus story, a famed philosopher in his prime stakes



the life of his family on the accuracy and authenticity of this magnum



opus. What begins as a quest for immortality becomes an exploration of



life’s most important and fragile treasures.

Romance: An



uproarious courtroom farce, which lampoons the American judicial system



and exposes the hypocrisy surrounding personal prejudices and political



correctness. ‘It made me weep with delight. . . . Romance is funny.



Extremely funny.’ Wall Street Journal
