Definitely my favourite Mamet play so far

I have never really known much of David Mamet’s work, and I recently decided to correct this. This is the 3rd of his plays I have listened to, and whilst I have enjoyed the others - this has definitely been my favourite. I can see why it’s so popular. It instantly resonated with me, I don’t know why. Maybe it is just the most relatable play he has written. I really enjoyed it, and the performances were great. Will likely listen again, I particularly enjoyed the female character in this play. It’s the sort of part you can imagine yourself playing - in a strange way!
