by Brodie Paparella - August 22, 2016
David Mamet's tale of a clinical psychologist curious about con artistry has been revived for a spicy and insightful production at New Theatre.

Una, twenty-seven, has thought of nothing else; upon seeing a photo of Ray in a magazine, she has tracked him down and arrived, unannounced, at his office. Guilt, rage, and raw emotions run high as they recollect the passionate relationship they had fifteen years ago. Without moral judgements, the play never shies away from the brutal truth of this abandoned and unconventional love. Nevertheless, the consequences are shattering.
