Description
David Mamet's groundbreaking play Oleanna explores the complex power struggle between two individuals. Annotated with an introduction, notes and commentary, this edition provides a unique insight into the author's work. Mamet's dialogue-driven style is renowned for its authenticity and intensity, and Oleanna is no exception. The play's central conflict is conveyed through a series of intense and often brutal exchanges between the two protagonists. As Michael Wise notes, "Oleanna cogently demonstrates that when free thought and dialogue are imperilled, nobody wins." With its unflinching portrayal of male-female conflicts, Oleanna continues Mamet's exploration of this theme begun with Sexual Perversity in Chicago. The result is a play that is both thought-provoking and deeply unsettling, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in drama or contemporary theatre.
