Oleanna, by David Mamet, is a controversial play that explores the murky territory of power dynamics and communication breakdowns. Professor John, known for his challenging teaching style, meets with Carol, a struggling student seeking help with his course material. Their initial conversation starts tense but seemingly manageable.
However, as the play progresses, a misunderstanding snowballs into a horrifying accusation. John's attempts to clarify his words and intentions are misinterpreted, and Carol, feeling increasingly isolated and unheard, seeks retribution. The play utilizes sharp dialogue and a rapid-fire back-and-forth, leaving the audience questioning the truth and the motives of both characters. Oleanna is a thought-provoking exploration of power imbalances, the dangers of miscommunication, and the devastating consequences when good intentions go awry.
