Speed The Plow

Mamet began his career with the St Nicholas Theatre company, Chicago and has subsequently staged num erous plays, winning an Obie Award with "American Buffalo" and achieving successes including 1983's "Glengarry Glen Ross" and 1993's "Oleanna".

When Fox comes up with an idea for a blockbuster movie, he and Gould think they've made it. For one blissful day the world seems about to open its arms to embrace them. This play is more than an anti-Hollywood satire - it is a comedy about a world where language is out of synch with emotion."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."
