I was first introduced to it in an Absurdist Drama course I took and to say the least it was a depressing semester. But when we got to some American playwrights like David Mamet the language was fantastic! I love the metaphor for life as chaotic in the end and all the allusions to life crossed with business. All plays are meant to be experienced by seeing them performed but reading this play-you really get a close inspection of all the great literary devices and brilliant uses of profanity. This was my first experience with David Mamet. I really loved his writing style and I found the premise of this play really interesting. Sometimes it was hard to follow the characters, particularly Bob, but Teach made up for that. I would really love to see the movie with Dustin Hoffman, as he seems really perfect for the role. no reviews | add a review
