A collection of outstanding plays from one of America's greatest
playwrights Boston Marriage David Mamet conquers new territory with
this droll comedy of errors set in a Victorian drawing-room. Anna and
Claire are two bantering, scheming ladies of fashion who have long
lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just
become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an
enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is
infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the
jealous Anna's help for an assignation. "Devastatingly funny . . .
exceptionally clever" New York Times "Brilliant . . . One of Mamet's
most satisfying and accomplished plays, and one of the funniest
American comedies in years" New York Post Faustus A modern retelling
of the classic tale of pride, folly and the ultimate wager. Faustus
has it all - fame, success, a loving family. But a careless pact with
a beguiling magician threatens everything. In language, scope and
theatrical sensibility, Faustus represents a big departure for Mamet,
melding resplendent language and metaphysics in an eerie and moving
retelling of the tragedy of Doctor Faustus. Romance Wildly humorous
and often gob-smackingly outrageous, Romance is an uproarious
courtroom farce, which lampoons the American judicial system and
exposes the hypocrisy surrounding personal prejudices and political
correctness. "An exhilarating spectacle” New Yorker “It made me
weep with delight. . . . Romance is funny. Extremely funny.” Wall
