American Buffalo

The Wang Center for the Performing Arts continues American Voices: Drama, Dialogue, Downtown with a reading of David Mamet’s 1975 play about three small-time burglars, American Buffalo.

The reading features Frederick Weller as Teach, Ted Reinstein as Don Dubrow and Pedro Pascal as Bob. Set in a junk shop, the play tells the story of the shop’s owner, an employee, and a friend who are plotting a robbery. The ambitions they pursue, and the scams they dream up to achieve them, steer them away from their visions of the American dream and lead them to betray their consciences and those they love.
