David Mamet

Published by Samuel French Inc

3 Male 2 Female

Fierce and funny scenes from a mid life crisis are outlined in broad, bold strokes as Bobby Gould returns to Chicago to reconnect with the people and powerful emotions of his past

In three vignettes, he encounters an old buddy, his sister, and a former lover. Hanging over each of them is the breakup of community, of family and, above all, of the Jewish culture that held them together

"Heart piercing... In this triptych of short, searing plays, the author of American Buffalo and Glengarry, Glen Ross has created his most emotionally accessible drama to date.... The words, and the pauses between them, lay bare the roots of raw wistfulness and fearfulness.... The play demands a concentrated willingness to listen. If you can give it that, you will find the rewards are great" ~ N.Y. Times

"A funny, moving evening in the theatre thoughtful, provocative, and making demands of empathy and feeling as uncommon on Broadway as they are welcome" ~ N.Y. Post

"This is Mamet unplugged.... What we have, in essence, are three dialogues. And Mamet is, of course, a virtuoso of dialogue" ~ Daily News

"Blistering, highly charged theatre" ~ AP
