The Politics of Theatre

This is Mamet's website. He used to just talk about theatre and art, but he's made a political shift as of late, and he likes talking about that now, too.

Theatre History

Track the seemingly countless productions of the play since it opened back in the 80s.

Movie or TV Productions

Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)

This is a pretty straightforward film adaptation of the play. The one bonus is Mamet added a character when he wrote the screenplay. Alec Baldwin plays the guy who comes in from the head office whose "watch cost more than your car." It's a legendary scene, and it's not even in the play.

Pacino on Roma

Al Pacino played Ricky Roma in the film version, and then years later took Roma to Broadway. Listen to him talk about brining Roma back to the stage.
