Catalyst Theatre is pleased to be a venue for Theatre Yes' Production of:
RACE
by David Mamet
Multiple award-winning playwright and director David Mamet tackles America's most controversial topic in a provocative tale of sex, guilt and bold accusations that debuted on Broadway in late 2009. Two lawyers find themselves defending a wealthy white executive charged with raping a black woman. When a new legal assistant gets involved in the case, the opinions that boil beneath explode to the surface. Mamet turns the spotlight on what we think but can't say, revealing dangerous truths with no punches spared.
"Scalpel-Edged Intelligence" — New York Times
"Provocative and Profane" — NY-1
"Intellectually salacious... gripping... rapid-fire Mametian style.." — The Chicago Tribune
"Showing how personal prejudices and individual missteps govern the course of things... Mamet adroitly mixes comic darts with tragic arrows." — Bloomberg News
