This Weekend Only at CWP Black Box: Mamet Staged Reading
By: A.A. Cristi
Winner, 1977 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, Best American Play. This volatile drama starred Robert Duvall in the original Broadway production and has seen revivals with Al Pacino and most recently on Broadway with John Leguizamo in 2008.
In a Chicago junk shop three small time crooks plot to rob a man of his coin collection, the showpiece of which is a valuable "Buffalo nickel". These high-minded grifters fancy themselves businessmen pursuing legitimate free enterprise. But the reality of the three- Donny, the oafish junk shop owner; Bobby, a young junkie Donny has taken under his wing and "Teach", a violently paranoid braggart- is that they are merely pawns caught up in their own game of last-chance, dead-end, empty pipe dreams.Friday and Saturday the 4th and 5th at 8 pm and Sunday the 6th at 3 pm. Get $10 tickets! (As with all Mamet's plays, this show contains adult language and themes.)
