and Claire arc ladies of fashion who have long lived together on the
edges of upper-class society. ‘[Mamet’s characters] are at each other’s

unlike those from Pinter or Edward Albee.’ Boston Globe

Combining resplendent language and metaphysics, Mamet offers a daring
retelling of the Faustus story, a famed philosopher in his prime stakes
the life of his family on the accuracy and authenticity of this magnum
opus. What begins as a quest for immortality becomes an exploration of
life’s most important and fragile treasures.
Romance: An

and exposes the hypocrisy surrounding personal prejudices and political
correctness. ‘It made me weep with delight. . . . Romance is funny.
Extremely funny.’ Wall Street Journal
