Duck Variations
"A brilliant little play...about two old men sitting on a park bench discussing ducks" (Guardian)
Sexual Perversity in Chicago
Bar-room banter and sexual exploits in Mamet's hometown "sweet sad understanding and utterly believable" (Chicago Daily News)
Squirrels
A sequence of philosophising between a younger writer, an older writer and a cleaning lady which "memorably captures the agony of the creative process" (Daily Telegraph)
American Buffalo
One of Mamet's most famous plays, set in a junk shop where three small-time crooks plot to carry out the midnight robbery of a coin collection. In the hours leading up to the heist, friendship becomes the victim in a conflict between loyalty and business.
The Water Engine
"A propulsive, kaleidoscopic nightmare"
Mr Happiness
A short ironic monologue by a Radio DJ commenting on the letters from his listeners.
