Glengarry Glen Ross

Defunkt Theatre opens their 12th season with a boldy reimagined, mixed gender version of David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize winning portrait of salesmen scratching and clawing for success and survival in the cutthroat world of real estate.

How does the presence of both men and women affect this iconic play in which masculinity and success seem mutually dependent? Do women have to "act like men" to compete in traditionally male arenas? How do these characters cope with the added stress of a sales contest in which the losers will be fired? How far will they go to ensure that they come out on top?

There’s an absolute morality? Maybe. And then what?

Mamet’s masterpiece, defunkt’s superb acting ensemble, an extraordinary design team, and a truly inspired twist on a modern classic promise to make Glengarry Glen Ross one of the fall’s must see shows.
