DAVID MAMET’S SCORCHING MASTERPIECE OF BIG MONEY SCHEMES. GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS BURNS HOT AT THE CITY THEATRE Enter the cut-throat world of real estate where it’s all about closing the big deal as City Theatre continues its third season with the award-winning modern classic Glengarry Glen Ross. In a time of constant doubt about financial security, and at a crucial moment of government transition, David Mamet’s stage play has never been more relevant. Get caught up in the action as a group of ruthless salesmen lie, cheat and connive to move up in the world of sales. The rock-and-roll rhythm and sizzling language of this play provides an up-close and personal lesson in the struggle to survive in a business world where the only goal is the top prize. Opening Night is Thursday, October 2 with performances through October 26. Lie. Cheat. Steal…all in a day’s work. Glengarry Glen Ross is a mix of hilarity and fury where real estate salesmen vie for the top sales prize in a savage contest of deception and betrayal. Roma is in the lead for the monthly sales award - a new Cadillac - while former top salesman Shelly Levene is riding a streak of bad luck. They rely on Williamson to give them hot leads, but Williamson ruthlessly pits the veteran salesmen against each other. As the cruel battle of wits ensues, the play offers a hard-hitting, darkly comic story of betrayal and a still-relevant analysis of our shifting values. Filled with shocking twists and turns, this cold-blooded drama is guaranteed to keep audiences breathless and on the edge of their seats. The play won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and received four Tony Awards that year. This is the first time Mamet has been produced at the City Theatre and is for mature audiences. Artistic Director, Andy Berkovsky, along with company member, Charles P. Stites will be co-directing the production and will feature the seven-member male ensemble of Gil Austin (Aranow), David Christopher (Lingk), Wray Crawford (Levene), Conrad Gonzales (Moss), Bryan Headrick (Williamson), Heath Thompson (Baylen) and Charles P. Stites (Roma).

This ensemble piece, with four middle-aged salesmen bound by rivalries, hatreds and an angry, suspicious form of friendship, is well cast, acted with conviction and skill. It’s sharp, cynical... Expand
