Speed-the-Plow
by David Mamet
Please note that Mamet’s “Speed-the-Plow” has replaced “American Buffalo.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet’s “Speed-the-Plow” is a comedy about the fickle and corrupt nature of the film industry. Hollywood power brokers Bobby Gould and Charlie Fox are hungry to impress the studio head with their next big blockbuster. High on expectations of success, Bobby bets that he can seduce Karen, his new secretary. But Bobby’s about to get more than he bargained for. Karen has a few plans of her own, and she just might change Bobby’s life forever. Nearly twenty years after its Broadway premiere, Mamet’s intricate comedy about getting films green-lighted in Hollywood proves itself just as sharp and cutting as ever.
