Glengarry Glen Ross Reviews
James Gay from London
A GOOD TREATMENT OF THE ORIGINAL SCRPIT
Having been a fan of the film based on this play from 35 years ago, I was eager to see this revival, to experience it in London, in its original form. Having Christian Slater cast as Roma seemed like a good choice and I was unfamiliar with the rest of the cast. My seats were in the stalls, H12, right in the center. Very nice view. The playhouse is a nice facility and the acoustics are suited to the use. Christian Slater, Stanley Townsend & Robert Glenister were quite good in their roles and well-cast for these parts. Very enjoyable performances. In contrast, Kris Marshall and Don Warrington turned in lackluster, unnatural performances and seemed miscast in their roles. This tainted the experience, for me.

In all, I would recommend this revived Mamet play for anyone who knows the story or would find the world of Chicago real estate swindlers in the 1980s to be interesting.
