This scalding comedy took Broadway and London by storm. 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. Revived on Broadway in 2005 and 2012, this masterpiece of American drama also became a celebrated film which starred Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin and Alan Arkin.  

The Umbrella's Take: This is perhaps one of Mamet’s best pieces, and after the success of OLEANNA a couple seasons ago, we were excited for the opportunity to present his work once again. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS also offers us a bit of dark comedy to spice up the season, in which new relevance may be found given our current time and place. As our fifth collaboration with Nancy Curran Willis, this is sure to be a highlight of the season.
