Mamet's 'GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS' Begins Ross Valley Run 1/16/09

The Ross Valley Players presents one of the masters of modern theater, David Mamet and his 1984 Pulitzer Prize winning play Glengarry Glen Ross. With uncompromising frankness, occasional brutality and surprising humor Mamet's play follows four small-time real estate salesmen trying to make a living by any means necessary by pushing plots of land on reluctant buyers. Drawing partly on Mamet's experiences in a Chicago real estate office, Glengarry Glen Ross is a masterpiece of American theater.
