Glengarry Glen Ross
Event Date: 22/02/2018, 07:30 pm
Glengarry Glen Ross at the Actors Pulse in Redfern from 22 Feb
Featuring the school’s intermediate level students, this is the play for which Mamet won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984.
During two days in the lives of four desperate Chicago real estate agents, we witness lies and flattery,
bribery, threats, intimidation and burglary —all to sell undesirable real estate to unwitting prospective buyers.
Based on Mamet’s own experience of working in a similar office, it has enjoyed countless West End, Broadway and international seasons and inspired a brilliant film adaptation whose cast included Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin and Kevin Spacey. In this showcase production, director – and Actors Pulse principal - Billy Milionis flips the genders of many characters to fully showcase the range and craft of his talented cast.
Milionis says his first experience of Mamet play led him to read his entire works and see countless performances globally.
“Doing Glengarry in mixed gender has interested me for quite some time.
It was written in a world where men went out to work and woman stayed at home; a world of toxic intense dog-eat-dog masculinity.
Today’s woman are not only bread winners but have adapted to the jungle of making a living and surviving.
Glengarry Glen Ross was first performed 35 years ago and its essence is as relevant today as it was back then.
Driven by a handful of self-centred individuals, it’s a world laced with greed, betrayal and ambition.”
This production features Actors Pulse students Katherine Munro, Tony Barea, Claire Brew,
Rebecca Leedham, Livio Di Michiel, Casey Richards and Dean Tuttle; with stage design and construction by Ali Maack and lighting by Kennedy Lee.
Thur-Sat 7.30pm - Feb 22 to March 3
