Casting women in male roles is nothing new...cross-gender casting goes back to the earliest days of known drama. Even so, when Curtain Call's executive director and artistic head decided to produce David Mamet's testosterone-driven classic, Glengarry Glenn Ross with all females, he knew heads would turn and tongues would wag. This distaff version of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize winner will play in Curtain Call's Dressing Room Theatre in Stamford, from October 20 through November 6.

Playwright David Mamet will helm his scripted adaptation of his 1988 stage play SPEED-THE-PLOW. Production is scheduled to begin in February 2017.

David Mamet, the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, and author of Glengarry Glen Ross, a play which is now on stage at Blank Canvas, is noted for his unique style of writing dialogue. Dubbed 'Mamet speak,' his vocal tone centers on precisely crafted street-smart narrative style. His characters talk 'real.' They sound like the way people from the geographical area and societal level from which they come would really speak. This is not 'speech for a play,' it is actual people speaking, with vocalized pauses ('ums,' 'you know,' and 'things like that.'

David Mamet 's Glengarry Glen Ross is an American classic that remains as relevant today as when it won the Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award in 1984. This darkly comic satire of the American Dream, about four ­mendacious, foul-mouthed property salesmen and their testosterone-fuelled culture of high-pressure and low ethics, is more relevant than ever in today's post-crisis era.
