Three small-time hustlers want a bigger cut of theAmerican dream. David Mamet's explosive dramaexposes a timely American truth: The hustle and thecon are two sides of the same coin.
In a Chicago junk shop, three small-time crooks plot torob a man of his coin collection, the showpiece ofwhich is a valuable “Buffalo nickel.” These high-mindedgrifters fancy themselves businessmen pursuinglegitimate free enterprise. But Donny, the junk shopowner, Bobby, a young junkie Donny has taken underhis wing, and “Teach,” a violently paranoid braggart, aremerely pawns caught up in their own game of last-chance, dead-end, empty pipe dreams.
"This production of American Buffalo, opening as the holiday season is moments away, and isn’t exactly in the spirit of merriment. However, it is a theatrical triumph, and that is something we can all be thankful for, in any season." -Sharon Eberson onStage Pittsburgh.
