Soulpepper - Speed-the-Plow
It's not often that the announcement to turn off your cell phones by that lovely soft spoken lady over the intercom includes the instruction that this is a #*@!*ing Mamet show. Apparently profanity and acerbic comedic wit are characteristic of this playwright and there was plenty of this in the show. The three actors were incredible in their ability to deliver the fast paced, complicated and passionate dialogue. Sarah Wilson in particular was amazing in her mesmerizing fascination with the book she felt would make a good movie, so absolutely convincing and genuine. The script was very clever and kept you guessing to the very end as to what the ultimate outcome would be. Thoroughly enjoyable and its only 90 minutes long, so you should be able to squeeze this into your schedule.
