MARQUEE VALUE: Race at the Barrymore Theatre

By Matthew Blank
31 Oct 2009

Production: Race, by David Mamet, directed by David Mamet, starring David Alan Grier, James Spader, Richard Thomas and Kerry Washington.

Previews: November 16, 2009

Opening: December 6, 2009

Venue: Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 243 West 47th Street, New York, NY 10036

David Mamet directs his latest work, making its world premiere on Broadway.

After closely guarding the plot through most of the development process, Mamet revealed the main details in mid-September: "In my play a firm made up of three lawyers, two black and one white, is offered the chance to defend a white man charged with a crime against a black young woman. It is a play about lies. All drama is about lies. When the lie is exposed, the play is over."
