| Description |
A fortune teller's teasing rumination causes 37 year old businessman Edmond to confront the emptiness of his life and marriage. His wife's innocuous complaint that the maid has broken a lamp prompts him to flee the safe boredom of his home into the quagmire of New York's darkest streets.
David Mamet's savage comedy charts his descent from middle class civility into a hellish nether world where his assumptions are tested and every bias and impulse is unleashed in a searing quest for self-discovery and redemption. |
