In his latest work, playwright David Mamet tackles the biggest four-letter word of all…RACE!  Two lawyers, one black and one white, find themselves defending a wealthy white executive against the charge of raping a young black woman. The plot unfolds as the three lawyers and defendant grapple with the evidence of the case and their own feelings about race.  David Mamet is a playwright known for word play, finding humor, insight and brutality in our use of language to obtain our objectives.  Because his naturalistic style includes street jargon, his scripts are often peppered generously with expletives. Mamet is the recipient of both a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize.
