Glengarry Glen Ross is David Mamet’s Pulitzer-Prize winning play about desperate men in a real estate office. Using unethical and illegal acts to sell bad properties to unsuspecting buyers, the men compete to be top salesman or risk losing their jobs. Unfortunately, much of the play resonates today as it did in the early 80s. Desperation and the hunt for the mighty dollar keep this play relevant in the most uncomfortable ways. “How can I be secure? Through amassing wealth beyond measure? No. And what’s beyond all measure? That’s a sickness. That’s a trap. There is no measure. Only greed.”
