Way too wordy and pointless... the relatively short play (75minutes) lasted an eternity, and never made a point, so I wouldnt recommend it to my enemies.
The most boring show I've ever seen.
The actors were fantastic, but the play itself was sort of slow.
Fully restored in 1998, the Miles Memorial Playhouse is one of Santa Monica's most treasured historical landmarks and perhaps its least-known performing arts venue.
Set in the heart of Christine Emerson Reed Park, the playhouse was built in 1929 by J. Euclid Miles, who dedicated it to "the young men and women" of the city.

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.
