    You know what it takes to improvise a David Mamet play?
    Balls. Brass Balls.
    It takes brass balls to improvise a David Mamet play.
    Listen friend, the six intrepid members of Confidence Men (2009 and 2010 B. Iden Payne Award nominees) have brass balls in spades and they are not afraid to use them to unfold the seedy underbelly of whatever the audience suggests on the spot. Every show, a new play will be improvised in the style of such great works as Glengarry Glen Ross, Speed-the-Plow and House of Games, with all the rat-a-tat and grift of its actual predecessors.

     

    Featuring special guest player Ken Webster, Artistic Director of the Hyde Park Theatre.
    With opening act J/K, an improvised comedy duet in the style of Harold Pinter.
