"Describes a world in which morality is tangential, in which there seems to be no moral feelings, only brutal, cruel ones, no concern for others, only selfishness and self interest."

Women's Wear Daily

  • Full Length Play
  • Drama

Edmond, a man set morally adrift leaves an unfulfilling marriage to find sex, adventure, companionship, and ultimately, the meaning of his existence. This play has been described as a sort of reverse image morality play; whereas Everyman went on a journey in search of his salvation, Mamet's everyman here descends into the maelstrom of big city degradation.

REVIEWS:

"Describes a world in which morality is tangential, in which there seems to be no moral feelings, only brutal, cruel ones, no concern for others, only selfishness and self interest."

Women's Wear Daily

"A play that blisters, disquiets, shatters, hurts... An example of masterly control over a dizzying experience and it will knock you for a loop."

New York Daily News
