Glengarry Glen Ross

Apollo Theatre, London from 27th September 2007 to 12th January 2008

Glengarry Glen Ross is David Mamet’s modern classic set in an office of cut-throat Chicago salesmen. Pitched in competition against each other, they will do anything, legal or otherwise, to sell the most real estate. In this world of high stakes and hard sell, the mantra is simple: close the deal and you’ve won a Cadillac; blow the lead and you’re f…d.

"The acting is uniformly fine" Michael Billington, The Guardian

"That all these plot lines neatly unravel is a triumph of Mamet’s script - and of director James Macdonald" John Thaxter, The Stage

Audience's reviews:

I was looking forward to this new production immencely. I came away slightly dissapointed. The producers must have felt very pleased to have Johnathan Price. He, having been in the movie. This time around playing the lead. But here woefully miscast. Aiden Gillen is strong, emotes freneticaly the tradgedy of the piece. But for all his stagecraft, struggles to project. The overall tone is a little too comic, drawing away from the emotional punch of the piece. A good if flawed production. Go for Mamets writing. But sadly you could do well simply to rent the film. Daniel Abel (38) London
