Summary

When Fox comes up with an idea for a blockbuster movie, he and Gould think they've made it. For one blissful day the world seems about to open its arms to embrace them. This play is more than an anti-Hollywood satire - it is a comedy about a world where language is out of synch with emotion.

Speed The Plow Summary

Speed The Plow by David Mamet

The finest American playwright of his generation (Sunday Times) Speed-the-Plow sees two old-time movie collaborators manipulate the aspirations of a young woman who will do anything to attain her dream of success in a brilliant black comedy, a dazzling dissection of Hollywood cupidity. (Newsweek)

Speed The Plow Reviews

David Mamet's Speed-The-Plow is infinitely more than a brutal satire on Hollywood. It is a study of male panic and the denial of redemptive grace. Michael Billington - Guardian Sitting through a David Mamet play is like being caught in a sudden shower of verbal broken glass. The dialogue is so sharp that it slices the senses and there is an iciness to the darkness of the humour ... his sheer skill with language makes for commanding power. Daily Express
