Didn’t expect to like it. But it’s a lean, mean, tense thriller.
All about the money.

Three stars personally, not as a work of literature. It's got the cadence I like, but I'm still trying to find some Mamet as horrifically relatable to me as "Speed-the-Plow" (which I hope is one day revealed as the inspiration for "Peep Show").

Listened to it while cooking so it didn't have my undivided attention.
I read this play when it was first published in 1975 and liked it or found it meaningful --which is what drew me to listening to this L.A. Theatre Works production tonight.
The characters are "challenging" at best.
I think I need to READ the play again to appreciate it and see if I still "like" it!
