Review “The finest American author of his generation.” —Sunday Mail (2015-03-10)“David Mamet is an American theater icon for good reason. He writes plays with nuance and depth that require the audience to really listen and think.

Reviews
This writer can be political without being didactic, or, worse, boring. His thinking is clear. Unlike so many writers, who pile on ending after ending, he knows exactly when his story has to conclude. As a poker player, he appreciates deception, but he respects his audience. I wouldn't want to play poker with him, but having read all of his plays, I would love to see them someday.
