Faustus: A Play

Faustus: A Play

David Mamet

VINTAGE
2004
nidottu
Having put his personal stamp on the contemporary theater, David Mamet now performs the supremely audacious feat of reinventing the theater of the past. He does so by telling his own ingenious and eerily moving version of the tragedy of Dr. Faustus. Mamet's Faustus--like Marlowe's and Goethe's before him--is a philosopher whose life's work has been the pursuit of "the secret engine of the world." He is also the distracted father of a small, adoring son. Out of the clash between love and intellect and the fatal operation of Faustus' pride, Mamet fashions a work that is at once caustic and heart-wrenching and whose resplendent language marries metaphysics to conman's patter. A meditation on reason and folly, fathers and sons, and a breathtaking display of magic both literal and theatrical, Faustus is a triumph.

A student edition of Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play First staged in Britain in 1983, Glengarry Glen Ross is the tale of four real-estate salesmen in a cut-throat sales competition.

"The finest American playwright of his generation" Sunday Times "A chillingly funny indictment of a world in which you are what you sell" Guardian "Nobody alive writes better American...Here at last, carving characters out of language, is a play with real muscle" Observer "David Mamet, screenwriter of The Verdict and The Postman Always Rings Twice, is alongside Sam Shepard and Michael Weller, one of the most distinctive voices on the contemporary American stage" Michael Coveney, Financial Times

Some Recollections of St. Ives

Some Recollections of St. Ives

David Mamet

Skyhorse Publishing
2025
sidottu
From the Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright of Glengarry Glen Ross comes Some Recollections of St. Ives, a masterful novel masquerading as the memoir of Charles Hollis—a fictional man whose life spanned continents and conflicts, culminating in a decades-long tenure at one of America’s most storied institutions: The St. Ives School. Written in the final years of Hollis’s life, Some Recollections of St. Ives traces his forty years within the institution, providing portraits of the people, politics, and parables that shaped both the man and the school. Within Hollis’s allegorical ruminations, David Mamet delivers a sharp, incisive examination of an isolated world—the St. Ives School—and its place in the wider culture.Witty, elegant, and profoundly insightful, Some Recollections of St. Ives proves once again that Mamet is a master of language and character. Intimate yet expansive, this novel is an astute exploration of tradition and legacy—how we shape them and, in turn, how they shape us.

Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director David Mamet shares his “smart, addictive, hilarious, and insightful” (Breitbart) tales from his four decades in Hollywood where he worked with some of the biggest names in movies.David Mamet went to Hollywood on top—a super successful playwright summoned west in 1980 to write a vehicle for Jack Nicholson. He arrived just in time to meet the luminaries of old Hollywood and revel in the friendship of giants like Paul Newman, Mike Nichols, Bob Evans, and Sue Mengers. Over the next forty years, Mamet wrote dozens of scripts, was fired off dozens of movies, and directed eleven himself. In Everywhere an Oink Oink, he revels of the taut and gag-filled professionalism of the film set. He depicts the ever-fickle studios and producers who piece by piece eat the artists alive. And he ponders the art of filmmaking and the genius of those who made our finest movies. With the bravado and flair of Mamet’s best theatrical work, this memoir describes a world gone by, some of our most beloved film stars with their hair down, and how it all got washed away by digital media and the woke brigade. The book is illustrated throughout with three-dozen of Mamet’s pungent cartoons and caricatures. Everywhere an Oink Oink is “nothing but wicked jokes, angry broadsides, and pointed gossip: in other words, the ideal Hollywood book” (The Wall Street Journal).

Long buried and never before published, Russian Poland may be David Mamet's most enigmatic and haunting creation-a cinematic ghost story finally brought to light.Written in 1993, this dreamlike screenplay fuses classic suspense with mystical storytelling and political urgency, its stories-within-stories hovering between farce and prophecy, tragedy and grace, illuminated in the flickering light between destruction and rebirth.At its heart are two Jewish-American World War II veterans on a covert mission to ferry arms to the nascent Israeli state in 1948. But their journey soon slips its political frame, drifting into memory, parable and moral reckoning.Both caper yarn and mythic meditation, Russian Poland reveals a master dramatist working in an unusually lyrical, elusive register. An unearthed dispatch from the shadowlands of cinema history and Mamet's richly inventive creative vision, Russian Poland is a haunting reflection on exile, faith and the resilient thread of cultural memory that binds generations.

I et provokerende, letforståeligt sprog tager den Oscar-vindende filmmand David Mamet fat om de grundlæggende elementer ved den gode historie. Om at instruere film er fuld af praktiske tips og inspirerende tanker. Bogen bygger på en række forelæsninger fra Columbia University, så man får - takket være de oprindelige tilhørere - mulighed for at stille spørgsmål undervejs. Men titlen snyder. For bogen henvender sig ikke bare til filmfolk, men til alle der interesserer sig for at fortælle historier.

Sant och falskt : irrlära och sunt förnuft för skådespelaren

Sant och falskt : irrlära och sunt förnuft för skådespelaren

David Mamet

Gidlunds förlag
2010
nidottu
Sant och falskt av David Mamet är en av vår tids mest inflytelserika böcker om skådespeleri. Här diskuteras yrket temperamentsfullt och inspirerande. Och ges utmanande och frigörande råd till dem som praktiserar yrket och dem som är på väg in i det. Mamet polemiserar mot den vedertagna undervisning (t.ex. efter Stanislavskij och Lee Strasberg), som tvingar in eleverna under en enda saliggörande metod. Mamet rekommenderar i­stället en modigt enkel och ärlig stil på scenen. Liksom han kraftfullt argumenterar mot skådespeleriets olika myter. David Mamet låter oss här ta del av en lång och vägvisande erfarenhet. Han är en av USA:s stora manusförfattare (Wag the Dog, Glengarry Glen Ross m.fl.) och har författat en lång rad essayer. Denna utgåva är den första boken av Mamet på svenska. Översättaren Gerhard Hoberstorfer är sedan 1990-talet knuten till Stockholms Stadsteater.

"Monia tämän kirjan havaintoja ja ehdotuksia voidaan pitää kerettiläisinä", David Mamet toteaa tämän kirjan ensimmäisessä luvussa. "Siis siinä tapauksessa, että teatteri on uskonto."Ja Mamet toteuttaa uhkauksensa, kuten aina.Teatterissa aikamme maineikas näytelmäkirjailija vaatii ohjaajan kuolemaa ja näyttelemisen teorian loppua. Mametille näyttelijät ovat hyviä tai he eivät ole näyttelijöitä, ja hyvät näyttelijät työskentelevät yleensä parhaiten, kun ohjaajat eivät puutu asioiden kulkuun.Muun muassa poliittiset näytelmät, poliittinen korrektius, metodinäyttelijät, mahdottomat ohjaukset, Stanislavski ja elitistit ovat Mametin huomion kohteina. Toisinaan eristäytyneessä ja muutoksia pelkäävässä teatterimaailmassa hänen ajattelunsa on kuin raikas tuulenpuuska.Teatteri haastaa jokaisen työskentelemään paremmin, myös Mametin itsensä.

Race

Race

David Mamet

Methuen Drama
2013
nidottu
There is nothing. A white person. Can say to a black person. About Race . . . Race. Is the most incendiary topic in our history. And the moment it comes out, you cannot close the lid on that box. Sparks fly when three lawyers and a defendant clash over the issue of race and the American judicial system. As they prepare for a court case, they must face the fundamental questions that everyone fears to ask. What is race? What is guilt? What happens when the crimes of the past collide with the transgressions of the present? Drawing on one of the most highly-charged issues of American history, David Mamet forces us to confront deep-seated prejudices and barely-healed wounds in this unflinching examination of the lies we tell ourselves and the truths we unwillingly reveal to others. Race was first seen in New York at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on December 6, 2009, directed by David Mamet. It receives its UK premiere at the Hampstead Theatre on 23 May 2013.

True and False

True and False

David Mamet

Random House USA Inc
1999
nidottu
The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, director, and teacher gives us a blunt, irreverent, unsparingly honest guide to acting that overturns conventional truths and tells aspiring actors what they really need to know. David Mamet leaves no acting tenet untouched: How to judge the role, approach the part, work with the playwright. How to concentrate and think about the scene. How to avoid becoming the Paint-by-Numbers Mechanical Actor, the "How'm I Doing?" Ham Actor, the over-the-top "Hollywood Huff " Actor. The right way to undertake auditions and rehearsals. The proper approach to agents, to individual jobs, and to the business in general. The question of talent. Mamet is unmistakably clear about why he thinks actors should not be taken in by such highly touted notions as "the arc" of the character or the play, "substitution," "sense-memory," the Method itself--in fact, by most of what is being taught in acting schools and workshops across the country today. True and False slaughters some of the profession's most sacred cows. It is bold, witty, and likely to be as controversial as the author himself.
