The Old Neighborhood
Author(s):
David Mamet
Fierce and funny scenes from a mid-life crisis are outlined in broad, bold strokes as Bobby Gould returns to Chicago to reconnect with the people and powerful emotions of his past. In three vignettes, be encounters an old buddy, his sister, and a former lover. Hanging over each of them is the breakup of community, of family and, above all, of the Jewish culture that held them together. "Heart-piercing. . . In this triptych of short, seating plays, the author of American Buffalo and Glengarry, Glen Ross has created his most emotionally accessible drama to
date. . . . The words, and the pauses between them, lay bare the toots of raw wistfulness and fearfulness. . . . The play demands a concentrated willingness to
listen. If you can give it that, you will find the rewards are great"-N. Y. Times. "A funny, moving evening in the theatre-thoughtful, provocative, and making demands of empathy and feeling as uncommon on Broadway as they are wel
come."-XY Post. "This is Marnet unplugged. . . . What we have, in essence, are three dialogues. And Mamet is, of course, a virtuoso of dialogue."-Daily News. "Blistering, highly charged theatre."-AP.
