Mamet Plays: 5
Book (italiano):
<DIV>A collection of outstanding plays from one of America's greatest playwrights<br/><br/><i>Boston Marriage</i><br/>David Mamet conquers new territory with this droll comedy of errors set in a Victorian drawing-room. Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming ladies of fashion who have long lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna's help for an assignation.<br/><br/>"Devastatingly funny . . . exceptionally clever" New York Times<br/><br/>"Brilliant . . . One of Mamet's most satisfying and accomplished plays, and one of the funniest American comedies in years" New York Post<br/><br/><i>Faustus</i><br/>A modern retelling of the classic tale of pride, folly and the ultimate wager. Faustus has it all - fame, success, a loving family. But a careless pact with a beguiling magician threatens everything. In language, scope and theatrical sensibility, <i>Faustus </i>represents a big departure for Mamet, melding resplendent language and metaphysics in an eerie and moving retelling of the tragedy of Doctor Faustus.<br/><br/><i>Romance</i><br/>Wildly humorous and often gob-smackingly outrageous, <i>Romance </i>is an uproarious courtroom farce, which lampoons the American judicial system and exposes the hypocrisy surrounding personal prejudices and political correctness.<br/><br/>"An exhilarating spectacle” New Yorker<br/><br/>“It made me weep with delight. . . . <i>Romance </i>is funny. Extremely funny.” Wall Street Journal</div>
