A lost gem!
16 January 2003 | by (the lower depths) – See all my reviews

This is still my favorite production of my favorite Mamet play. I believe there was another version that starred Jack Lemmon & Matthew Broderick but I doubt that it held a candle to this production which has an other-worldly atmosphere that is almost Beckettian.
