This is a fantastic show, with a fun "don't stop" pace, and superb acting performance that brings out all the nuances that Mamet intended. All four character are people you know in real life, and wether you love them or hate them, they are real. Pools of lights and simple sets remind you of what the best a theater truly can be.

I'm a big Mamet fan, so to see it done exceedingly well is all I can hope for. I believe the actors from the moment the lights come up. It's like you're a fly on the wall; atching a relationship soar then plumet to a firey death in real life is ugly and messy - but in this play, it's funny (sometimes painfully so). I highly recomend it.

This is one of Mamet's definitive plays, a fiecre rant on gender politics and male friendship. The company at The Ark more than does justice to it with strong directing and performances, particularly in the case of male lead. The diretor takes advantage of an intimate performance space, creating a voyeuristic atmosphere, and leaving the audeince in limbo between amusement and disgust. A very enjoyable performance.
