Win­ner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize, David Mamet’s scald­ing com­e­dy is about small-time, cut­throat real esate sales­men try­ing to grind out a liv­ing by push­ing plots of land on reluc­tant buy­ers in a nev­er-end­ing scram­ble for their fair share of the Amer­i­can dream. Here is Mamet at his very best, writ­ing with bru­tal pow­er about the tough life of tough char­ac­ters who cajole, con­nive, whee­dle, and wheel and deal for a piece of the action — where clos­ing a sale can mean a brand new cadil­lac but los­ing one can mean los­ing it all.
