''The finest American playwright of his generation'' (Sunday Times)
Glen Garry Glen Ross (also made in to a film starring Jack Lemmon and Al Pacino) ''his superb play about real estate salesmen in a cut-throat sales competition'' (New Society); in Prairie du Chien a railway carriage speeding through the Wisconsin night is the setting for a violent story of obsessive jealousy, murder and suicide, told within shooting distance of a card-hustler and his victim. ''A short poignant study in violence and the twin drives of love and money, told with hypnotic power thorugh a travelling raconteur'' (City Limits); The Shawl shows a clairvoyant wondering whether to cheat a bereaved woman of her inheritance and ''confirms Mamet's place as about the best living writer of vivid American dialogue'' (Daily Telegraph). Set in the cut-throat world of Hollywood, Speed-the-Plow sees two old-time movie collaborators manipulate the aspirations of a young woman who will do anything to attain her dream of success ''a brilliant black comedy, a dazzling dissection of Hollywood cupidity.''
