A hilarious, take-no-prisoners approach to courtroom comedy, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet's Romance gleefully lampoons everyone from lawyers and judges to Arabs, Jews, gays and chiropractors. An exhilarating courtroom farce set against the backdrop of a Middle East peace summit, Romance comes as a delicious bit of political incorrectness from the man who wrote such modern stage masterpieces as Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed-the-Plow, and Oscar-nominated films like The Verdict and Wag the Dog. Rendered with Mamet's trademark verbal dexterity and foul-mouthed wit, Romance is, in the words of New York magazine, "in equal measure malicious and cathartic."
