Description
Glengarry Glen Ross explores a world of lies, greed, and corruption—it’s business as usual.
Set in an office of cut-throat Chicago salesmen, four increasingly desperate employees will do anything, legal or otherwise, to sell the most real estate. Pitched in a high-stakes competition against each other, as time and luck start to run out, the mantra is simple: close the deal and you've won a Cadillac; blow the lead and you're fd.
This new edition of the 1983 Olivier Award-winning Best Play and the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Drama was published to coincide with a 2017 West End revival starring Christian Slater, Robert Glenister, and Kris Marshall.
