  • 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).

More- over, the intertextuality and intermediality of the ‘transmedial screenplay’ make it incompatible with ‘static’ concepts such as ‘fidelity’ and ‘originality’ precisely on behalf of the film medium’s adaptation.oxfordjournals.org poly-systemic nature. 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’.

  • David Mamet's Drama, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Three Iconic Forerunners
    Ad Americam. Journal of American Studies 20 (2019): 5-14 ISSN: 1896-9461, https://doi.org/10.12797/AdAmericam.20.2019.20.01 Robert J. Cardullo University of Kurdistan, Hewlêr [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0816-9751 The Death of Salesmen: David Mamet’s Drama, Glengarry Glen Ross, and Three Iconic Forerunners This essay places Glengarry Glen Ross in the context of David Mamet’s oeuvre and the whole of American drama, as well as in the context of economic capitalism and even U.S. for- eign policy. The author pays special attention here (for the first time in English-language scholarship) to the subject of salesmen or selling as depicted in Mamet’s drama and earlier in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh, and Tennes- see Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire—each of which also features a salesman among its characters. Key words: David Mamet; Glengarry Glen Ross; American drama; Selling/salesmanship; Americanism; Death of a Salesman; The Iceman Cometh; A Streetcar Named Desire. Introduction: David Mamet’s Drama This essay will first placeGlengarry Glen Ross (1983) in the context of David Mamet’s oeuvre and then discuss the play in detail, before going on to treat the combined subject of salesmen or selling, economic capitalism, and even U.S. foreign policy as they are depicted or intimated not only in Glengarry but in earlier American drama (a subject previously undiscussed in English-language scholarship). I am thinking here of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman (1949), Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Co- meth (1946), and Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire (1947)—each of which also features a salesman among its main characters.

    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.
