​
Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet
directed by Richard Dominick
​GGGR is about small-time, cutthroat real estate salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land onto reluctant buyers in a scramble for their share of the American Dream. In short, tough men in a tough business who connive, wheel and deal, cajole and strong-arm for their small piece of the action.
*Glengarry Glen Ross*, written by David Mamet, premiered at London’s National Theatre in 1983, where it received critical acclaim and won the Olivier Award for Best Play. It made its U.S. debut in 1984 at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago before moving to Broadway. That same year, the play was awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Drama and received several Tony nominations, with Joe Mantegna winning Best Featured Actor for his performance.
​
Since its original success, *Glengarry Glen Ross* has seen multiple high-profile revivals, including a Broadway revival in 2005 that won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, and a 2012 production starring Al Pacino. The next Broadway revival is scheduled for 2025, featuring Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and Bill Burr, promising another star-studded rendition of this hard-hitting play.
