American Buffalo
American Buffalo | David Mamet
6 posts | 4 read
American Buffalo, which won both the Drama Critics Circle Award for the best American play and the Obie Award, is considered a classic of the American theater. Newsweek acclaimed Mamet as the hot young American playwright . . . someone to watch. The New York Times exclaimed in admiration: The man can write! Other critics called the play a sizzler, super, and dynamite. Now from Gregory Mosher, the producer of the original stage production, comes a stunning screen adaptation, directed by Michael Corrente and starring Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Franz, and Sean Nelson. A classic tragedy, American Buffalo is the story of three men struggling in the pursuit of their distorted vision of the American Dream. By turns touching and cynical, poignant and violent, American Buffalo is a piercing story of how people can be corrupted into betraying their ideals and those they love.

1. Oh yes, love a joke. My mom was the best April Fooler around. I once put a sticker for a political nominee a friend HATED on his vehicle. It was in good fun, he nearly blew a gasket but later could confess it “was a good one” and my nominee went on to lose. @JenReadsAlot may remember? 🤣
2. I can‘t think of a fiction story with a joker but love memoirs by Jim Gaffigan and Mike Birbiglia.
Thanks for the tags @Kshakal @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

My niece/goddaughter picked out this plushie buffalo/bison for me for my upcoming birthday today. I feel so loved. (Also most of you on here don‘t know but I love American buffalo and even have a tattoo of one.)

mrsmarch I love buffalo! Spent childhood in the Black Hills of SD and was mesmerized by them. I had a small plush buffalo and we named him Cody because we were on a road trip thru Wyoming at the time. 6y

Meet my #cat, Gloria. I told her my idea of a David Mamet restaurant where one could get an order of American Buffalo Wings... she said I am a genius. 😹 #catsoflitsy

I've never seen this play performed but I read it for a British drama lit course at university back in the day so certainly recommend it for reading: a group of aspiring comedians in Manchester trying to learn the art of stand-up from a seasoned veteran. I loved the way this 1975 play tackled sexism and racism head on.
