Speed-the-Plow, by David Mamet, takes you inside the world of studio executive Bobby Gould who must choose between producing a formulaic prison-breakout drama with a big star attached, and an obscure mystical novel by an "Eastern sissy writer." No brainer, right? Not if you factor in the power of office lust and the influence of friends.

Randall Arney directs a cast that includes Greg Germann, Alicia Silverstone, and Jon Tenney.
