A Life in the Theatre
by David Mamet“Though the work has serious undertones, it is, first of all, a comedy–and Mr. Mamet’s language glistens. His writing is a cross between the elegant and the vernacular, an ironic combination that is uniquely his own. . . . He is an eloquent master of two-part harmony. An abundantly gifted playwright; he brings new life to the theater.” –Mel Gussow, The New York Times
