Mamet's witty, caustic play - filled with his
trademark rapid-fire dialogue satirises the deal making that
goes on behind-the-scenes in the movie business. Hollywood
producers Bobby Gould (Kevin Spacey) and Charlie Fox (Jeff
Goldblum) engage in a verbal boxing match centered around the
eternal debate of art versus money. Should Gould put on another
bad blockbuster that will make his fortune, or put himself on
the line for an adaptation of a spiritual, apocalyptic novel
offered to him by his beautiful secretary Karen (Laura Michelle
Kelly)? In this tale of greed, seduction and power, everything
he believes in will be put to the test.
'Of all American playwrights, Mamet remains the shrewdest
observer of the evil that men do unto each other in the name of
buddyhood' Time
David Mamet's other plays include Glengarry Glen Ross, Oleanna
and American Buffalo. Kevin Spacey appeared in Glengarry Glen
Ross on film and recently at The Old Vic in A Moon for the
Misbegotten and Richard II.
