Henry may be the wittiest playwright of his generation, but he’s hopelessly naïve when it comes to understanding love and infidelity. Writing about betrayal is one thing, living with it is another. After Henry leaves his wife for another woman, he’s confronted with being the cuckold himself. Both dazzlingly clever and emotionally naked, Henry’s search for the “the real thing” in art and love demonstrates beautifully why both are worth the effort in the end.

David Mamet's gift for storytelling and forging poetry from both the plain-spoken and profane turns an ill-conceived scheme to steal a rare coin into a triumph of dramatic art. In a junk shop, three men of different generations plan their heist. But their fates, like the nickel's worn image of the beleaguered buffalo, may have been sealed long ago.

Outstanding

Pierre Corneille was a precursor to Moliere, and was an excellent playwright. Richard Wilbur, who translated many Moliere plays, is the translator of the work in this recording. It is an excellent rhyming verse translation, like pretty much all of Richard Wilbur's translations. I enjoyed this recording quite a lot and recommend it. Full cast and full dramatic quality.
