  • [T]he most comprehensive resource available on the playwright's career, with an appropriate emphasis on his productions and critical response to his tense, minimalist drama....A comprehensive resource on a writer as prolific as Mamet may be impossible, but this well-organized, thorough, and highly detailed volume is as complete as even the most diehard Mamet scholar could hope. Essential. All theater collections; all levels.

Description: The most complete record of a contemporary American dramatist available, David Mamet: A Resource and Production Sourcebook is the result of ten years' research by a widely published drama and theatre scholar and a university bibliographic specialist. Presenting a complete overview of all reviews and scholarshp on Mamet, the authors challenge assumptions about the playwright, such as the charge that he is an antifeminist writer. This comprehensive sourcebook is an essential purchase for Mamet scholars and students of American drama alike. David Mamet: A Resource and Production Sourcebook reflects the revolution underway in the study of drama, in which not only previous scholarship but performance reviews are a necessary part of research. It gives a complete listing and overview of over 250 scholarly articles and chapters of books on Mamet's plays. It also presents the complete production history of each play, including review excerpts. The authors have produced an invaluable guide to research into this key contemporary dramatist.
