David Mamet's iconic play 'Glengarry Glen Ross,' known for the maxim 'Always be closing,' remains relevant even decades after its premiere. The recent Broadway revival captures its essence but does not evoke strong emotional responses. Mamet's shift towards conservative views in recent years has sparked debate, especially as he continues to find success in theater despite perceptions of being marginalized by leftist critics. His upcoming work, titled 'The Disenlightenment: Politics, Horror, and Entertainment,' suggests he’s ready to further explore these controversial themes in the current socio-political landscape.
The starry revival currently at the Palace Theatre offers a refresher - though not necessarily deep feelings of purpose or clarity.
Mamet thinks he's been blacklisted by hypocritical totalitarian leftists, but he's still got plays on Broadway, plays in the West End, and books coming out whenever he writes them.
