Coming in November
[ peace in the middle east ]

The playwright/screenwriter, David Mamet, who brought us "Wag The Dog," "State & Main," and "Speed," is back with a new farce-yes, farce. This new, biting comedy-which has nothing and everything to do with romance-tells a courtroom story. The defendant has the secret to peace in the Middle East, but bureaucracy is keeping him from getting across town to the ongoing peace conference. Some of the wackiest, most fascinating characters you'll ever meet in a play make this a soon-to-be classic. Strong language, not recommended for children or pre-teens. Directed by Murray Chase at the Venice Little Theatre.
