The 12 original and two classic essays offer a dialectic on performance and structure; and substantially advance our knowledge of this seminal playwright. The commentaries examine feminism; pernicious nostalgia; ethnicity; the mythological land motif; the discourse of anxiety; gendered language; and Mamets vision of America; providing insights on the theatricality; originality; and universality of the work. Although the dominant focus is on Glengarry Glen Ross; several essays look at the play against the background of Mamets Edmund; Reunion; and American Buffalo; whereas others find fascinating parallels in Emerson; Baudrillard; Conrad; Miller; and Churchill. The book also includes an interview with Sam Mendes; the director of the highly acclaimed 1994 revival of Glengarry Glen Ross in London; conducted specifically for this collectio. A chronology of major productions and the most current and comprehensive bibliography of secondary references from 1983-1995 complete the volume.
