Race

by David Mamet

Directed by Timothy Near


February 8 – March 4

Major Sponsor:

Shame, guilt, class, lies and sex all explode to the surface in Pulitzer Prize-winner David Mamet’s newest play where cases–and people–are never just black and white. When high-profile attorneys Jack Lawson and Henry Brown find themselves defending a privileged white executive accused of raping a young black woman, facts quickly become secondary to underlying agendas. Race poses blunt questions with provocative language that will leave everyone talking long after the lights go down.

Award-winning writer David Mamet explores all sides of taboo conversation in this play. The dialogue spares no punches - it is powerful, provocative and exciting.
