David Mamet Festival
OLEANNA and SEXUAL PERVERSITY IN CHICAGO
March 22-April 6
Downtown
Mamet Fest is professionally produced, focusing on the work of perhaps the most celebrated contemporary American playwright David Mamet. Mamet Fest: Part One includes perhaps Mamet’s best known work, OLEANNA (1992). Inspired by the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court confirmation hearings, this taut drama explores the gray areas of a relationship between a pre-tenure college Professor and a young female student. It is paired with SEXUAL PERVERSITY IN CHICAGO (1976), a raucous, sometimes bawdy dissection of the relationships of four twenty-somethings, living and loving in a “big city by a lake” during the summer of 1976. It is the play that brought him his first national recognition.
