BIOGRAPHY
David Mamet (b. 1947). For much of his career as a playwright, Mamet worked in the theater world of Chicago. He has written over twenty plays, including American Buffalo (1975), Glengarry Glen Ross (1984), Speed the Plow (1988), and The Cryptogram (1994).

He has also worked in film. Besides writing the screenplays for The Verdict (1982) and The Untouchables (1987), he wrote and directed the movies House of Games (1987), Things Change (1988), and Homicide (1991), as well as the film version of Oleanna (1994). The play premiered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in May 1992 and then opened off-Broadway the following October. Mamet directed both the Cambridge and the New York productions, with his wife Rebecca Pidgeon starring as Carol. Much of Mamet's dialogue is fragmented with interrupted sentences, typical of his career-long effort to reproduce the discontinuities of everyday speech.
