WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Broadway revival of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross stars Alan Alda, Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Tambor, Frederick Weller, Tom Wopat, Gordon Clapp, and Jordan Lage. Joe Mantello directs.
The stakes are high at a fly by night Chicago real estate office: 1st prize- a new Cadillac, 2nd prize- a set of steak knives, 3rd prize- you're fired! Glengarry Glen Ross slices to the core of the American dream and exposes the depths people will go to stay on top of the game. Mamet himself worked in a real estate office in Chicago in 1969 setting up appointments for salesmen, and the play is influenced by the cutthroat politics he encountered.
The show is presented by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, JAM Theatricals, and the Roundabout Theatre Company.
Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play

Were David Mamet writing Glengarry Glen Ross today and setting his shrewd dramatist's eye on four devious real estate operators, he'd have to pen a different play. The ubiquity of the cell phone would change how these conniving salesmen do business. It's unlikely that they'd lunch in a nearby Chinese restaurant, as they do in Mamet's economical first act, without being interrupted by anxious prospects or motivated to make urgent outgoing calls. And in the energized second act -- when you can almost hear the playwright chuckling as he makes life tough for his calculating characters -- these desperadoes wouldn't be at a loss for land-line phones in their burglarized office.
