  • David Mamet - Edited by Christopher Bigsby Excerpt More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521894689 - The Cambridge Companion to David Mamet - Edited by Christopher Bigsby Excerpt More information 1 CHRISTOPHER BIGSBY David Mamet In 1974, a play set in part in a singles bar, laced with obscene language and charged with a seemingly frenetic energy, was voted Best Chicago Play. Transferred to Off Off and Off Broadway it picked up an Obie Award. Sexual Perversity in Chicago was not David Mamet’s first play, but it did mark the beginning of a career that would astonish in both its range and depth. The following year American Buffalo opened at Chicago’s Goodman The- atre in an “alternative season.” It was well received and opened on Broadway fifteen months later where it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award. It ran for 135 performances, hardly a failure but in the hit or miss world of New York, not a copper-bottomed success either. Nonetheless, in three years he had announced his arrival in unequivocal terms. David Mamet came as something of a shock, not least because his first public success, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, seemed brutally direct in terms of its language and subject, as did American Buffalo. But it was already clear to many that here was a distinctive talent, albeit one that some critics found difficult to assess, not least because of his characters’ scatological language and fractured syntax, along with the apparent absence, in his plays, of a conventional plot. They praised what they took to be his linguistic naturalism, as though his intent had been to offer an insight into the cultural lower depths while capturing the precise rhythms of contemporary speech (though he did invoke Gorky’s The Lower Depths as being, like a number of his own plays, a study in stasis).

Bringing together the analogous concerns of collaborative creation, adap- tation, and authorship, this essay therefore discusses David Mamet’s screen adaptations of per- sonal and other work from a process-based perspective as a means of attaining a more constructive understanding of so-called ‘interaesthetic passages’.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dafina McMillan January 16, 2013 [email protected] 212-609-5955 New from TCG Books: The Anarchist by David Mamet NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of the newest play by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet: The Anarchist. Just having completed its world premiere on Broadway under the direction of the playwright and starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger, Mr. Mamet’s work is also currently represented on Broadway with the revival of his award-winning Glengarry Glen Ross starring Al Pacino and Bobby Cannavale. “Mamet remains the American theatre’s most urgent five-letter word.” ― Guardian (London) Nothing is quite what it seems in Mamet’s latest work. Set in a female penitentiary, David Mamet's two-woman drama is about Cathy, a longtime inmate with ties to a violent political organization, who pleads for parole from the warden, Ann. With a nod to his mentor, Harold Pinter, Mamet once again employs his signature verbal jousting in this battle of two women over freedom, power, money, religion – and the lack thereof. “Students of Mamet won’t want to miss it. I was engaged and compelled throughout. Indeed, The Anarchist is a counterweight to the conventional dramatic tropes of family, love and death.” ― Chicago Tribune David Mamet is a playwright, essayist and screenwriter who directs for both the stage and film. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Glengarry Glen Ross. His other plays include Race, American Buffalo, Speed-the-Plow, November, The Cryptogram, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, Lakeboat, The Water Engine, The Duck Variations, Reunion, The Blue Hour, The Shawl, Bobby Gould in Hell, Edmond, Romance, The Old Neighborhood and his adaptation of The Voysey Inheritance.

  • LOS ANGELES, April 9, 2013 – Pulitzer Prize Winner David Mamet's
    LOS ANGELES, April 9, 2013 – Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet’s classic American Buffalo, starring Ron Eldard (Justified, ER), Freddy Rodriguez (Six Feet Under) and Bill Smitrovich (Life Goes On) opens in the Gil Cates Theater at the Geffen Playhouse on April 10, 2013. The production is directed by Geffen Playhouse Artistic Director Randall Arney, whose previous work at the theater includes Superior Donuts by Tracy Letts, Speed-the-Plow by David Mamet, All My Sons by Arthur Miller, Take Me Out by Richard Greenberg, Boy Gets Girl by Rebecca Gilman and David Rambo’s God’s Man in Texas. One of David Mamet’s defining works, American Buffalo was instantly hailed as a new American classic when it opened on Broadway in 1977. The New York Times reviewer Frank Rich said it was, “One of the best American plays of the last decade.” Mamet is the winner of a Pulitzer Prize for Glengary Glen Ross, he also received Tony nominations for Glengary Glen Ross and Speed-the-Plow and Oscar nominations for The Verdict and Wag the Dog. Now, Randall Arney takes a fresh look at these three misguided characters who are a little out of luck and way out of their league as they plot the theft of a rare coin collection. As the time of the heist approaches, tension and anticipation build revealing loyalties and testing friendships. Negotiating explosive humor, frenetic energy and surprising tenderness, this play promises a mesmerizing night whether seeing it for the first time or rediscovering this groundbreaking work. Opening night festivities for American Buffalo will be sponsored by Audi of America, Los Angeles magazine, Malibu Family Wines, Napa Valley Grille and St.
