Synopsis

With a nod to his mentor, Harold Pinter, Mamet once again employs his signature verbal jousting in this battle of two women over freedom, power, money, religion -and the lack thereof.

Premiered on Broadway, under the direction of the playwright, in Fall 2012 starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger.
