    • "The lively revival at Santa Monica's Miles Memorial Playhouse offers an engaging snapshot of a formidable emerging talent." --Los Angeles Times
    • "Travis Hammer's assured direction showcases Mamet's early stylistic maturity." --Los Angeles Times
    • GO - ...Lewis is extraordinarily funny as she converts nonsense into a language that reassures by, weirdly, making sense. Director Travis Hammer is unapologetic as he pushes his actors faster and faster through Mamet’s whirlwind of bewildering but enjoyably light verbiage. --LA Weekly

    Directed by Travis Hammer

    A funny and insightful skewering of his own profession with wit, humor, and a joy of language only Mamet can provide.

    Arthur, an old writer, is losing his edge. He hires a younger writer to help get the juices flowing, while an outrageous cleaning woman periodically pops in to comment, expound, and provide her own pearls of wisdom.

    Starring Vicki Lewis, Don Oscar Smith, and Ben Messmer, Mamet’s gem of a play provides a rare and wonderful evening of theatre that comically explores creativity, the horror of lost talent, and the pain of loneliness through a series of reversals and heart-rending moments that only a master like Mamet can create.
