Glengarry Glen Ross: A Play Details
Review “The best new American play of the season. Wonderfully funny…a play to see, remember and cherish.” –Clive Barnes, New York Post“The most exciting American play in years.” –Howard Kissel, Women’s Wear Daily“One of his best plays. Crackling tension…ferocious comedy and drama. A top American playwright in bristling form.” –Frank Rich, The New York Times Read more
Reviews
David Mamet won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize in Drama for this play about a team of low-down, lying salesman that sell Florida real estate to gullible retirees and members of the middle class. It's a quick read - the dialogue is excellent.Most people are aware of this play because of the incredible 1992 movie version. One should be aware that the Alec Baldwin character from the movie does not appear in the play - Mamet wrote that part specifically for the movie. In one of the scenes, a salesman talks about how he hates to talk to Indians, because they never buy anything. After some criticism, Mamet took that out of a 2005 revival of the play.These are terrible people. Outstanding play.
