A play about two actors--stage veteran Robert, and aspiring young newcomer John. Set both on stage and behind the scenes in a fading small town repertory theatre, the piece, by Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Mamet, follows their friendship, and their rivalry, as they battle with the cruel uncertainties of their profession. Inspired by Mamet’s early backstage experiences and his own brief career as an actor, this acutely observed, bittersweet comedy delivers all the absurdity, larks and hardship associated with a life in the theatre A 1994 film of the play, starring Jack Lemmon and Matthew Broderick, was nominated for both Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.
