David Mamet’s A LIFE IN THE THEATRE
The title says it all! A Life in the Theatre, produced by the Walnut Street Theatre Company on Tour, is David Mamet’s loving and laugh-filled behind-the-scenes look at backstage ego trips, feuds, fears, and acting tips, as an older, experienced actor shares a dressing room with a newcomer. The New Yorker declared, “Mr. Mamet has written – in gentle ridicule; in jokes, broad and tiny; and in comedy, high and low – a love letter to the theatre. It is quite a feat, and he has pulled it off.”
A Life in the Theatre is a touring production of the Walnut Street Theatre (Philadelphia, PA) and is directed by Bill Van Horn who also plays the role of Robert, with Davy Raphaely as the young actor John.
