BWW Video Show Preview: November

David Mamet's November officially opened on Thursday, January 17, 2008 at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre (243 West 47th Street).

"Set just days before a major presidential election, November involves civil marriages, gambling casinos, lesbians, American Indians, presidential libraries, questionable pardons and campaign contributions," explain press notes.

The highly anticipated World Premiere comedy began previews on Thursday, December 20 and stars Nathan Lane as incumbent US President Charles Smith; with Laurie Metcalf as Clarice Bernstein, aide to President Smith; and Dylan Baker as Arthur Brown, presidential adviser. The play also stars Michael Nichols and Ethan Phillips. Two-time Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello (Take Me Out, Glengarry Glen Ross) directs.
