Speed The Plow by David Mamet
"The finest American playwright of his generation" (Sunday Times) Speed-the-Plow sees two old-time movie collaborators manipulate the aspirations of a young woman who will do anything to attain her dream of success in "a brilliant black comedy, a dazzling dissection of Hollywood cupidity." (Newsweek)
David Mamet's Speed-The-Plow is infinitely more than a brutal satire on HollywoodIt is a study of male panic and the denial of redemptive grace. Michael Billington - Guardian Sitting through a David Mamet play is like being caught in a sudden shower of verbal broken glass. The dialogue is so sharp that it slices the senses and there is an iciness to the darkness of the humour ... his sheer skill with language makes for commanding power. Daily Express
