Stewart and Mamet! Theatre lover’s dream come true! Though it will be very weird hearing him drop all those F-bombs…

Happy about Patrick Stewart appearing on Broadway… But I saw this play in Boston several years ago… and it is a TERRIBLE play. It wasn’t the actors’ fault, nor the director’s… it is just very uninteresting. I still am a Mamet fan, but I think it’s the worst thing he’s ever written.

I saw Patrick Stewart do this same play in London’s West End several years ago, along with Joshua Jackson. I met Mr. Stewart last year and had him sign the playbill! He seemed to get a kick out of that. I’m curious who is going to be the newcomer on Broadway.
