Description

M2 (40s) F1 (20). Gould's office, Gould's home.

Produced at the National Theatre in 1989 after a successful run in New York, this play is a satirical and sparklingly funny vision of Hollywood back-stabbing. It centres around Charlie Fox, a producer, and Bobby Gould, studio head of production, and a major film deal involving a well-known actor. It is through the language that Mamet depicts the self-doubts and vulnerabilty that lies behind the self-congratulatory back-slapping. Fast-paced, full of witty one-liners and guaranteed to keep the audience mesmerized.
