American Buffalo
Broadway has always loved its classic productions. And that's probably why it keeps bringing them back for all the theater lovers with a few excellent changes. American Buffalo is one such peculiar drama of the mid-70s that keeps coming back to Broadway and entertains fans every year.
Not only is it a breath of fresh air for the stage with its colloquial language and quirky humor, but it also sets a benchmark for the genre. Even today, people remember David Mamet's excellent screenwriting and staging.
A Wide Fan Base
The play first garnered a fan base with its showcase production and moved to Broadway around 1977. The show deals with true American life and often uses common language. Mamet made sure that we all connect with the play, and it works out in favor of the play even today.
Realistic Depiction
American Buffalo deals with a robbery about to happen. You can see two significant characters, Teach and Bobby planning to again steal the artifact they stole initially. What happens with the burglary is what the plot is all about.
The production has received numerous awards due to such an honest approach while dealing with concepts like money, poverty, hunger, and struggle. It has a Tony, a Drama Critic Awards, and many nominations to go along with the fantastic reputation. The New York Times deemed it one of the best American Dramas of the 80s.
Currently, the play has retained the original elements from Mamet's staging. It also stars celebrities like Laurence Fishburne, Sam Rockwell, Darren Chris, and more. The direction is being done by Neil Pepe for the 2022 run of the same show.
While the premier was supposed to happen around 2020, it was stalled by the COVID 19 pandemic. But, stress no more because it is back with previews and shows going on from April 2022 onwards.
The play is for all those who love complexity and mature themes. It also has retained the trademark humor that Mamet is famous for. You will get humor, satire, and irony all at once within the discussion of Teach and Bob.
If you like modern plays with realistic contemporary themes, this might just be perfect for you. Watch this Broadway run of the American Buffalo by getting tickets soon.
