Speed-the-Plow

by David Mamet

“You wanted me to come here… here I am…”

A new revitalisation of David Mamet’s (Glengarry Glen Ross) loaded satire about the Hollywood movie industry… with a twist. For the first time, and with permission from David Mamet, the gender of all the roles will be reversed in this new Janet Moran-directed (A Holy Show) production of the classic play.

His own blend of rapid-fire seductive dialogue takes on a new context when two female studio executives and a new male PA consider whether a new film script should be “greenlit”.

The script is funny, real and charming, with lots of surprises.
