"This is satire with a scorpion's sting."

Variety

"A professional skeptic and an inspired word jockey, David Mamet can lay claim to the same connoisseurship of human folly as H. L. Mencken, who once observed that, in America, 'only the man who was born with a petrified diaphragm can fail to laugh himself to sleep every night.' Mamet's new Oval Office satire, November... is a hilarious demonstration of the fact that we live in an age of equality: all classes are criminal... Broadway comedy is generally a testament to Twain's maxim that honesty is 'the best of all the lost arts.' On the boulevard, laughter is meant to distract, not galvanize, to enchant, not disenchant. Into this weak hand, David Mamet has dealt an ace."

John Lahr, The New Yorker

"Ferociously original... and crisply performed, [November] rollicks from one politically incorrect punch line to the next."

San Francisco Chronicle

"Vaudeville meets current events... David Mamet just couldn't resist the bully pulpit of satire."

San Jose Mercury News

"Remarkable... one of the most profoundly laugh-out-loud plays that I have seen in many years."

BeyondChron.org

"The big, explosive laughter that starts early in David Mamet's November is of a kind I haven't heard in decades."

The Village Voice

"November gets my vote! Like an expert marksman in a shooting gallery, the playwright takes aim at just about every hot-button issue of the day, scoring a bull's eye every time."

Backstage East

"Sublime! One of the first breezy and intelligent comedies of substance we've seen in a long time."

The Villager

"Extremely funny."
