The Wicked Son

Romance
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2008; US$ 13.00Pulitzer Prize?winning playwright David Mamet?s Romance is an uproarious, take-no-prisoners courtroom comedy that gleefully lampoons everyone from lawyers and judges, to Arabs and Jews, to gays and chiropractors.

The Spanish Prisoner and The Winslow Boy
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2009; US$ 15.00Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet ranks among the century's most influential writers for stage and screen.

Faustus
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2009; US$ 12.00Having put his personal stamp on the contemporary theater, David Mamet now performs the supremely audacious feat of reinventing the theater of the past.

Theatre
Faber & Faber 2010; US$ 14.99If theatre were a religion, explains David Mamet in his opening chapter, ?many of the observations and suggestions in this book might be heretical.? As always, Mamet delivers on his promise: in Theatre , the acclaimed author of Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed the Plow calls for nothing less than the death of the director and the end of acting... more...
The Cabin
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2011; US$ 12.00In these mordant, elegant, and often disquieting essays, the internationally acclaimed dramatist creates a sort of autobiography by strobe light, one that is both mysterious and starkly revealing.

The Secret Knowledge
Penguin Group US 2011; US$ 27.95David Mamet has been a controversial, defining force in nearly every creative endeavor-now he turns his attention to politics.
