It stings, and the more I scratch the more it itches. Though I enjoyed this play less than American Buffalo, I thought Mamet had a much clearer sense of vision in this one. The development from the beginning was very startling, and I imagine seeing Will Macy in this rold would have been a great experience. Overall, a stronger play than American Buffalo text-wise, though I have a feeling that the former probably is a better play to watch. With a much lower swearing count than the usual Mamet fare Oleanna is a campus play focusing on the issue of sexual harrassment or is it political correctness? John, a university professor,is skewered out of his smug, cosy assumptions by an initially mousy then strident accusing student Carol. A great play for illuminating the man-woman power divide. One provocative play that doesn't need to behest discussion. no reviews | add a review
