In this story of a penetrating battle of friendship versus business, loyalty is tested as three small-time crooks plot the midnight robbery of a buffalo nickel. David Mamet, one of theater's most acute writers, pens a biting critique of capitalism and inflated valuation in this menacing, humorous, and philosophical masterpiece.
This volcanic production of David Mamet's American Buffalo comes to McCarter from Chicago's internationally acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Steppenwolf premiered August: Osage County, which swept the Tony Awards when it transferred to Broadway in 2007. American Buffalo is directed by Tony Award-nominated August: Osage County actress Amy Morton and stars August: Osage County's Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts. As a director, Morton has been hailed a "proven master of Mamet" by the Chicago Sun-Times.
From Chicago's famed Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
