If the author left any obvious cheap shot out, about White Americands, Jews, Catholics, the Law, Homosexuals, Age and abuse of power, etc. it was not from want of trying.Written on Nov 21 2005
Also had he eliminated the word FUCK he could have reduced his word count by half.
I used to wonder where the canned laughter on TV came from, at this event, these
job performers were in the audience. Some people who understood the value of their time left after the first intermission.
What a waste of time and space.
God Bless the actors, particularly the Judge, they must be desperate to perform,
to lend themselves to this crap. Surely the "Judge" actor must have realized he deserves better!!! Some misguided fellow theatre goers thought he was
Rod Stewart the singer!!!

Quotes & Highlights
- "Deliriously funny farce...quite demented - and politically incorrect." - Associated Press
- "In a zany, foul-mouthed and politically utterly incorrect way, the play gleefully lampoons lawyers and judges, Arabs and Jews, gays and chiropractors...this pithy play manages to be in equal measure malicious and cathartic." - New York magazine
Description
Romance
A new play by David Mamet
Directed by Neil Pepe
With (alphabetically): Noah Bean, Ed Begley, Jr., Larry Bryggman, Jim Frangione, Steven Goldstein, Steven Hawley, Todd Weeks
In a New York courtroom, a trial unfolds in the shadow of an international peace conference. Although the case at hand is unrelated, the defendant and counsel devise a plan to solve conflict in the Middle East and produce peace in our time! While mayhem fills the courtroom, the giddy proceedings skewer everyone from Jews to gays, Catholics, podiatrists, chiropractors, Shakespeare and, of course, lawyers. Romance is an outrageous farce about cherished issues, from our judicial system to the peace process, fidelity, religious tolerance and world peace, presented in verbally dexterous Mamet style.
Pulitzer Prize-winner David Mamet's many plays include Glengarry Glen Ross, Speed-the-Plow, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, and American Buffalo.
