‘The finest American playwright of his generation’ (Sunday Times)
Reunion shows the meeting between a father and daughter after nearly twenty years of separation: ‘It would be hard to over-praise the way Mr Mamet suggests behind the probing, joshing family chat, an extraordinary sense of pain and loss…although the play has a strong social comment about the destructively cyclical effect of divorce, it is neither sour nor defeatist’ (Guardian); In Dark Play, a father tells his five-year-old daughter a story about an Indian boy and his pony ‘a subtle, lyrical, dreamlike vignette’ (Star Tribune); in The Woods, a young man and woman spend the night in a cabin together ‘a beautifully conceived love story’ (Chicago Daily News); Lakeboat portrays eight crew members of a merchant ship exchanging wild fantasies about sex, gambling and violence ‘Richly overheard talk…loopy, funny construction.’ (Village Voice); Edmond is an odyssey through the disturbing, suspended dark void of a contemporary New York ‘it is also a technically adventurous piece pared brilliantly to the bone, highly theatrical in its scenic elisions.’ (Financial Times)
