Praise for Uncle Vanya"An act of deconstruction designed to exhume
the living energies of Chekhov's writing from under the heavy
weight of 'masterpiece topsoil.'"--Robert Brustein, American
Repertory Theatre"Simply, plainly wonderful."--The Boston Globe
Praise for David Mamet"Mamet is . . . that rarity, a pure writer,
and the synthesis he appears to be making, with echoes from voices
as diverse as Beckett, Pinter and Hemingway, is unique and
exciting." --Newsweek"Mamet's ear is uncanny. Nobody today has a
more flawless gift for reproducing overheard colloquial speech. . .
. You leave the theater after a Mamet play and realize it's
exploded in your brain." --Robert Brustein"Mr. Mamet [has a] talent
for burying layers of meaning into simple, precisely distilled
idiomatic language--a talent that can only be compared to Harold
Pinter's." --Frank Rich, The New York Times"Mamet has a miraculous
ear for the heightened music of American dialect--it makes poetry
out of common usage." --Clive Barnes, The New York Times"Mamet
deserves recognition for his careful, gorgeous, loving sense of
language. He has the most acute ear for dialogue of any American
writer since J. D. Salinger." --The Village Voice"Mamet is a true
and exciting original . . . a blaze of talent." --WCBS-TV"Pinter.
Albee. Miller. They're all looking over Mamet's shoulders." --New
York
