1.		Twelve Angry Men (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $9.60 Customer Review: I bought this for my niece but did not realize it was a play not a book. She did not like it and has not read it	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		A Practical Handbook for the Actor from Vintage Price: $8.80 Customer Review: ...until a grad-student friend of mine required this textbook for a class he was teaching. I later learned he was going against the grain by doing so; university education in acting frequently concentrates on the emotional state of the actor, and this book punctures that paradigm like a shiny pin. A... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		On Directing Film from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Over all I was surprised to see the size and no. of pages of the book. But Really in this case, Size doesn't matter. Its full of gr8 info in a very interactive and excellent style. A must hav for all who are realted to film.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		True and False: Heresy and Common Sense for the Actor from Vintage Price: $10.36 Customer Review: You should red this if you intend to be a part of the theatre world.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Oleanna from Dramatists Play Service Inc Price: $7.50 Customer Review: This is a fast- paced little drama in hard- hitting colloquial language. Two characters a university teacher and his student are the whole action. It begins with the girl student petitioning for a passing grade, but in time becomes complicated by her charging the teacher with harassment. As their... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Glengarry Glen Ross: A Play from Grove Press Price: $11.20 Customer Review: There are only a few truly perfect things on this earth. A Chicago dog is one of them. There is nothing quite like it. This play is another little piece of perfection. Loved the movie, oh yes, but the play is just as good, which is a rare thing indeed. Often the movie version is superior to the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Actor's Art and Craft: William Esper Teaches the Meisner Technique from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: This book is really nice. If you want to learn about craft of acting - it's your choice!	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Three Uses of the Knife: On the Nature and Purpose of Drama from Vintage Price: $8.80 Customer Review: I read this book every year, and every year I take something new from it. There's SO much in this short book. It's FILLED with truth about life, art, and life & art.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business (Vintage) from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Mamet does it again! In BAMBI VS. GODZILLA, he offers essays which provide new ways of looking at motion picture production, writing and life. He inspires. He challenges. He shares ways of looking at things that are as profound and simple as they are new. I wish I could have gotten this kind of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.	[no image]	The cherry orchard from Grove Press Customer Review: This, Chekov's last play, is the story of Madame Ranyevskaya's family, which lost its wealth, and an estate that included a cherry orchard. The subtext carries the story and is about how not to deal with existentialist stasis -- a state of being immobilized by the fear of change, and the complexity... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		November (Vintage) from Vintage Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Mamet is wonderful. At his best, he is the best. "Novemeber" falls short of Mamet's greatest achievements. The author has always been funny; he is one of the funniest American dramatists around. These days he has been doing satire. He has the gift of dialog but I feel his inability to bring an idea... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Speed-the-Plow from Grove Press Price: $10.40 Customer Review: This play on Broadway originally starred Madonna, Joe Mantegna, and Ron Silver. To me David Mamet is an overrated playwright and an underrated screenwriter. The play is going to be revived in the 2008-2009 season along with Mamet's "American Buffalo." They are both slight efforts which pale in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		American Buffalo from Grove Press Price: $10.40 Customer Review: Years ago I saw this play on the Great White Way. The set was fantastic with the busiest, most cluttered junk shop imaginable, packed to the gills with all sorts of stuff. The play itself was and is a very slight effort, and I cannot understand why it's being revived for the 2008-2009 Broadway... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Sexual Perversity in Chicago and the Duck Variations: Two Plays from Grove Press Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Kazerinsky destroyed this play when he made the movie "About Last Night." Read the play, enjoy the language and the irony. Mamet is the best.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Writing in Restaurants from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.20 Customer Review: Pull up a chair at your favorite sidewalk cafe's, order a latte or a spicy red Zin, and let our finest, living, American playwright tell you...well, whatever he's thinking about today. Here the master storyteller is opinionated (though not a bit condescending or patronizing), thoughtful, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-hatred, and the Jews (Jewish Encounters) from Schocken Price: $13.57 Customer Review: were I more intelligent I would give this book 5 stars but alas I am not and found it somewhat tough going in the 2 days I spent reading it. I have pondered this subject over the years and even reproached certain Jews for what I consider their anti semitic views'.How can a jew be anti semitic... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Three Sisters from Grove Press Price: $10.40 Customer Review: I recently went to a reading of this play by a theatre group here in Philadelphia that I really enjoy. Although I could write a very positive review of their reading, I'll try and focus on the writing itself. This play presents a masterful peek into societal life for three sisters living in a... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.	[no image]	The Voysey Inheritance from Dramatist's Play Service Price: $7.50	Click here for more information


19.		House of Games from Grove Press Price: $11.70 Customer Review: As far as screenplays go, House of Games is a work of great cutting quality; written in Mamet's recognized concise style, House of Games permeates with a foreboding, volatile aura. When a too structured and career-driven yet refined and scholarly Dr. Margaret Ford, psychiatrist and author of the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Five Cities of Refuge: Weekly Reflections on Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy from Schocken Price: $15.75 Customer Review: This slim volume is the perfect tool for a Torah study class - or just for seeking out two different perspectives on the Torah. Brevity is not a problem here, but the book is not shallow. Kushner and Mamet are quite capable of making you think and making you want to dig deeper.
