Whatever side you take, you're wrong.
This two character play is a gripping account of a power struggle between a male university professor and one of his female students. Carol comes to John's office for a conference to discuss her work. A series of teacher-student one-on-ones turns into an intriguing and emotional drama. David Mamet's Oleanna is regarded as one of the most provocative dramas of our time, dividing audiences into heated debate by compelling them to side with either character.
"There can be no tougher or more unflinching play than Oleanna"
-Harold Pinter
Two of Shakespeare’s insignificant characters get a play of their own in Tom Stoppard’s comedic masterpiece Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. The play tells the story of Hamlet from the point of view of his school-friends-turned-spies as they struggle against their fate and the play’s inevitable conclusion. Stoppard’s nimble wit, command of language, and enthusiasm for the absurd shine in this: his most recognizable play.
