Read The Anarchist Storyline:
"Mamet remains American theater's most urgent five-letter word."—Guardian "The finest American author of his generation."—Sunday Mail "Mr. Mamet's talent for burying layers of meaning into simple, precisely distilled, idiomatic language can only be compared to Harold Pinter's."—The New York Times Acclaimed for spare, dark dramas and cutting comedies permeated with spiky confrontations, multi-award-winning playwright David Mamet once again proves nothing is quite what it seems in his latest work The Anarchist. With a nod to his mentor Harold Pinter, Mamet employs his signature verbal jousting in the story of two women: once involved with a Weather Underground-like group, a prisoner serving a life sentence desperately tries to make the case for her freedom to a prison governor. This newest play by the celebrated author of American Buffalo and Oleanna premiered in London in fall 2011 under the direction of Rupert Goold. David Mamet is a playwright, director, author, essayist, screenwriter, and film director. He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Glengarry Glen Ross, which also received a Tony Award nomination, along with Speed-the-Plow. His other plays include American Buffalo, A Life in the Theatre, Oleanna, The Cryptogram, and Race.Pages of The Anarchist :
