The finest American author of his generation.--Sunday Mail
This complex new work from celebrated playwright David Mamet revolves
around a wealthy man, his young fiancée, and an airplane. The man has
just bought a new plane as a wedding present for the girl. He intends to
go into semiretirement and enjoy himself. While in the process of
leaving his office, and giving last minute instructions to his young
assistant, he takes one final phone call.
The new, widely anticipated play premieres on Broadway this fall,
starring Tony and Academy Award-winning actor Al Pacino, for whom the
play was written. Pacino described the role of billionaire Mickey Ross
as one of the most daunting and challenging roles I've been given to
explore in the theater and declared, it blew me away.
