GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS

I had a fantastic time on Saturday evening spending it among friends and seeing a kick-ass production of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross. San Jose Stage celebrates 25 years with this revival production that features a terrific ensemble cast that includes: Randy King, Stephen Klum (his character is the one I most identified with - just outstanding), Michael Storm, Colin Thomson, Michael Ray Wisely, Kevin Kennedy and Louis Landman. It was great to see Randy, Michael and Kevin (all my pals from The White House Murder Case.)

Smartly directed with great timing this is terrific ensemble acting. The first act deals with these characters in pairs but Act II has them all together at various times. Oh and the pace - the pace was just terrific. A play like this could suffer greatly from lack of pace but this production was right on the money.

In the audience there were a lot of friends: Diahanna Davidson, Klhar Thorsen, Jackson Davis, Stephan Smith Collins, Beverly Grant and my dear friends at the Stage Company. A terrific night and a great evening of theatre. I highly recommend this production. (Lots of language so leave the kiddies at home.)

Cheers
