Glengarry Glen Ross at Soulpepper extended to May 16, 2009

For those of you that have not had enough swearing and jaded outlooks on humanity (that is to say, those of you who haven’t had enough David Mamet in your life) it looks like there’s still time!

From the press release:

Albert Schultz, Founding Artistic Director of Soulpepper Theatre Company, today announced the extension of the company’s production of Glengarry Glen Ross, David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

Soulpepper’s production was originally scheduled to close on May 9, but due to popular demand and sold-out performances, Glengarry Glen Ross is extended until May 16.

In Mamet’s snapshot of the cut-throat world of real estate, a group of salesmen scramble to lie, cheat and steal their way to the top.  In this desperate game of survival, insults and accusations fly in the rhythmic, colloquial style that is Mamet’s signature.

Glengarry Glen Ross runs until May 16 at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, located at 55 Mill Street, Building 49, in the Distillery Historic District. Tickets range from $28 – $68 and are available by calling the Young Centre box office at 416.866.8666 or by visiting soulpepper.ca.

Although there isn’t a Mooney on Theatre review of the production yet, there are many many many reviews out there.  The links to the reviews are below, so check them out and see if this show’s for you.
