Race
By David Mamet
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet pulls no punches in this incendiary drama that cuts to the heart of prejudice, privilege, and the tangled intersections of race and justice. When a wealthy white man is accused of assaulting a Black woman, two lawyers — one Black, one white — must navigate a legal and moral minefield. As tensions mount and a new legal assistant enters the fray, unspoken assumptions and simmering biases erupt into sharp, unfiltered confrontation. Provocative, fast-paced, and unflinchingly honest, Race is a gripping exploration of the lies we tell others—and the ones we tell ourselves.
Staged Reading
Rating: R
Audience advisory: Race by David Mamet contains mature content, including explicit language, racial slurs, and frank discussions of race, sex, and power. The play is intentionally provocative and confrontational, designed to challenge perspectives and spark honest dialogue. It is not suitable for young audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
