Michael Sheppard — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 20:56:47 +0000

Blue Canoe’s 15th Production and the final of the 2011 season is a scalding comedy that took Broadway and London by storm and won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize. Here is Mamet at his very best, writing about small-time, cutthroat real estate salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land on reluctant buyers in a never-ending scramble for their share of the American dream. “Crackling tension…ferocious comedy and drama.”-The New York Times “Wonderfully funny…A play to see, remember and cherish.”-New York Post
