In a series of short, spare, and increasingly raw exchanges, we see the estrangement of youth from age and the wider, inevitable, endlessly cyclical rhythm of the world.

You're all wrong. This is a great play.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Life in the Theatre (Paperback)
I saw this play Off-Broadway in the 1970's and was mesmerized. This is Mamet in a very tender mood. It rings with authenticity and has one of the funniest onstage scenes ever written. It is a beautiful elegy to actors working at what they love.

Read Between The Lines People!,
By Max Bialystock (Somewhere in the world) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life in the Theatre (Paperback)
O.K., I know that many Mamet fans were disapointed with this one but I, for one, wasn't. This was actually the first Mamet play that I was introduced to (Before then I didn't even know that David Mamet existed) and I absolutly loved it, after reading it a few times. Yes, at first the dialouge (SP?) seems rather bland but, as my title says, you need to read between the lines! Use your imagination! There is something powerful about this piece because of all the underlaying tension. So read it! If you're patient, that is.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Life,

This review is from: Life in the Theatre (Paperback)
A comedy of sadness. And that phenomenal back and forth which jumps off the page.
