One of America’s most prolific playwrights, David Mamet, directs his drama The Anarchist, starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger. The Anarchist is drama about a female prisoner battling for parole with her female prison warden. Terse, witty and compelling, The Anarchist offers audiences a drama of words, emotions and human intensity.

 Synopsis

In The Anarchist, longtime prisoner Cathy, who has ties to a violent organization, argues, cajoles and uses as many logical, witty and emotional weapons she has to plead her case  to the prison warden for her parole, Ann. But Ann will not relent. Or will she? This is a classic Mamet drama with his signature realistic-theatrical dialogue; perplexing, complex characters and a plot peppered with decisive twists and turns.

Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Mamet will direct his new play The Anarchist for its Broadway premiere in 2012. Broadway veteran Patti LuPone will play Cathy and Debra Winger, who makes her Broadway debut, , will portray Ann, the prison warden. In 1984, Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross won the Pulitzer Prize. Other plays include A Life in the Theatre, Speed-the-Plow, Oleanna and American Buffalo. Both Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed-the-Plow were nominated for Tonys.

Clifford Odet’s Golden Boy premiered on Broadway in 1937 and after that was an immensely popular film that gave actor William Holden his big break. The story focuses on Joe Bonaparte, a gifted violinist who is torn between trying to create a career as a musician or making cash quickly and perhaps damaging his hands permanently as a prize fighter.  Will Joe trade his bow, rosin and strings for boxing gloves?

 Synopsis

Golden Boy is a tough as nails, emotional drama about a young man, Joe Bonaparte, who has two gifts—one for music and one for boxing. The drama offers a lead character that audiences` root for and who’s stuck in a dilemma that has no easy answer. Does Joe choose the rough, unforgiving and possibly lucrative life in the ring or the refined artistry of the violin? In Golden Boy it’s a battle between the pragmatist and the dreamer.
