Speed-the-Plow: It's a money-hungry business
September 21, 2009
New Repertory Theatre, in residence at the Arsenal Center for the Arts, is pleased to present Speed-the-Plow a drama by David Mamet. Speed-the-Plow opens for the press on Monday, October 19, 2009 at 7:30pm and plays through Saturday, November 7, 2009 at the Arsenal Center for the Arts in the Charles Mosesian Theater.
“Speed-the-Plow is a theatrical trifecta,” states Kate Warner, Artistic Director for New Repertory Theatre. Mamet is one of America’s best contemporary playwrights, Robert Walsh is a superb director, and the cast is outstanding.”
Ms. Warner adds, “The play is going to be 85 minutes of fast paced dialogue, wit, and phenomenal acting.”
Robert Walsh, the director of Speed-the-Plow comments, "I am very excited to be a part of Kate's inaugural season! Particularly with a play that continues to have contemporary resonances within a medium that is constantly undergoing changes in 'how things get done.’ This is a wonderfully fulfilling experience for me, having appeared in State and Main, one of the author's more caustic send-ups of the movie industry."
