A Life In The Theatre

A clever and sharply observed ode to the trials and joys of a life spent on stage. Mamet’s A Life in The Theatre, inspired by what Mamet himself observed backstage, introduces audiences to Robert, an aging actor, intent on teaching John, a young up-and-comer, the tricks and truths of the trade. As they spar and critique each other’s performances, the audience becomes a fly on the dressing room wall.
