American Buffalo seethes with ambition and irony. Mamet's gift for storytelling turns an ill-conceived scheme to steal a rare coin into a triumph of dramatic art. In a junk shop, surrounded by strangers' discards, three men plan their heist. But their fates, like the nickel’s worn image of the beleaguered buffalo, may have been sealed long ago.
Starring Rich Hutchman, Josh Stamberg and Maurice Williams
'A play which actually improves with use . . . [revealing] more of itself, shifted, modulated, grown. And that, for me,
is a powerful symptom of the theatrical masterpiece.'
– Benedict Nightingale, The New York Times
