Joe Mantegna and Richard Dreyfuss Star in GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS for LATW, Now thru 5/19

L.A. Theatre Works records David Mamet's scathingly funny Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Glengarry Glen Ross, about small-time real estate brokers who vie for the hot leads at a Chicago firm selling shoddy properties. Joe Mantegna reprises his Tony Award-winning role as Richard Roma from the original (1984) Broadway production; Gordon Clapp returns with his Tony-nominated portrayal from the 2005 Broadway revival; and Richard Schiff stars as George Aaronow, the role he played in the most recent, 2012 Broadway production. The L.A. Theatre Works cast also stars Richard Dreyfuss and Bruce Davison.

With money, egos and jobs on the line, the cut-throat salesmen will stop at nothing to get their fair share of the American Dream. This gritty story of shifting values in the male-dominated workplace is as potent and exhilarating as ever.

All performances will be recorded live in front of an audience (without sets or costumes) to air on L.A. Theatre Works' syndicated radio theater series, which broadcasts weekly on public radio stations nationwide and can be streamed on demand at www.latw.org.

Written by David Mamet and directed by Eric Simonson, the production features Joe Mantegna; Richard Dreyfuss; Bruce Davison, Gordon Clapp and Richard Schiff. Produced by Susan A. Loewenberg.
