Oleanna: A Play | David Mamet
2 posts | 12 read | 4 to read
In David Mamet’s latest play, a male college instructor and his female student sit down to discuss her grades and in a terrifyingly short time become the participants in a modern reprise of the Inquisition. Innocuous remarks suddenly turn damning. Socratic dialogue gives way to heated assault. And the relationship between a somewhat fatuous teacher and his seemingly hapless pupil turns into a fiendishly accurate X ray of the mechanisms of power, censorship, and abuse.

Another college read, and my first read of Mamet. So tense and good and revelatory about the patriarchal culture in which we still live. Thinking it might be a must-add for my IB courses going forward.
