The Old Neighborhood

West Coast Premiere
by David Mamet
directed by Joy Carlin
September 12, 2003 - October 19, 2003

When Bobby Gould returns to his old neighborhood, the people of his past open unexpected windows upon his present. In The Old Neighborhood, David Mamet weaves three tightly-knit playlets into a quilt of remembered experience. The New York Times hailed the play as "Searing. Mamet’s most emotionally accessible drama to date. At ninety minutes, The Old Neighborhood covers more territory than most contemporary plays do in three hours." The New Yorker called the work "both elegant and beautiful ... full of laughter and lament."
