Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet

Shelton Theater present's David Mamet's 1984 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross, which follows the lives of four real estate salesman who viciously struggle for money, power, and the American dream.

Considered a masterpiece of poetic theatrical language, Glengarry Glen Ross is a cunning, chilling and comedic tale of the dark underbelly of the American dream. In Mamet's own words; "To me the play is about a society with only one bottom line; How much money you make."

Now considered an American classic, thirty years later Glengarry Glen Ross continues to inspire audiences worldwide as we witness men struggling and competing for survival in an economic system that is inherently violent.

Compared to Miller's Death of a Salesman (1949), Glengarry Glen Ross (1984) still resonates a cautionary morality tale about the behavior of desperate men in a capitalistic system. The play is immediately, funny, cold, vicious, and true. The subsequent film version is hailed as an iconic call to salesman everywhere as the characters lie, cheat, and steal to succeed.
