Mamet Plays: 6: November; Race; The Anarchist: Contemporary Dramatists

Autor David Mamet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2015
Race
Sparks fly when three lawyers - two black and one white - and a defendant clash over the issue of race and the American judicial system. Drawing on one of the most highly charged issues of American history, David Mamet forces us to confront deep-seated prejudices and barely healed wounds in this unflinching examination of the lies we tell ourselves and the truths we unwillingly reveal to others.

November

It's November in a Presidential election year and incumbent Charles Smith's chances for re-election are looking unlikely. Approval ratings are down, his money's running out, and nuclear war might be imminent. But Chuck isn't ready to give up just yet. November is a hilarious take on the state of contemporary America.

The Anarchist

Cathy is a woman who has served 35 years of a life sentence for killing a policeman in a botched robbery. Her prison officer Ann must decide whether or not to grant her parole. Mamet once again employs his signature verbal jousting in this battle of two women over freedom, power, money, and religion.

Recenzii

Mamet is a connoisseur of fiasco, knows all about legal punctilio, and he has great fun bringing mayhem to the ritual
[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
The finest American playwright of his generation
No modern playwright has been bolder or more brilliant.
Pinter, Albee, Miller. They're all looking over Mamet's shoulder
These are brilliant plays by a writer at the height of his powers, and it is surprising that they mostly failed on Broadway. But perhaps Mamet has proved to be ahead of his time, since each of these works anticipates aspects of American life that came to the fore after it was staged . One is tempted to think that the more powerful and politically pertinent the play, the greater the likelihood of its absence from the big international stages. These are plays that deserve revival.
