David Mamet can always be counted on to have a provocative idea or two up his sleeve, and that's certainly the case with his newest play, Race, which officially opens at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on December 6 under the playwright's direction. The show concerns a firm of racially integrated lawyers that must defend a wealthy white man accused of a vicious crime. TheaterMania spoke with the play's four stars, James Spader, Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier, and Richard Thomas, about the play and working with Mamet.
