Glengarry Glen Ross-Seattle U
“I wasn’t cut out to be a thief. I was cut out to be a salesman.”
David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross seems to ask: what’s the difference?
Seattle U’s production of David Mamet’s Pulitzer-winning Glengarry Glen Ross is acutely aware of its optics, and understandably so. Mamet is a notorious lightning rod for controversy, having frequently drawn public ire for his crass conservatism and refusal to shy away from ugly subject matter over the course of his career. Director Brennan Murphy opens the program with a note containing a simple plea – view our play with an open mind. It is with an open mind, then, that I can confidently say: Seattle U knocked it out of the park.
