School

by David Mamet

Comedy / 2m / Simple Set School is a brief comic discourse on recycling, poster design and the transmission of information. Premiered with Keep Your Pantheon as Two Unrelated Plays by David Mamet at the Atlantic Theater Company, NYC in the fall of 2009. "A textbook example of the style that made its author famous. Featuring characters identified only as A and B, as if they were points on a diagram, this merry little sketch moves with the show-off alacrity of a calculus prodigy whizzing through equations at the blackboard." - The New York Times

Genres: Plays, Drama

اولش خوب جلو می‌رفت اما بعضی جاها گیج کننده می‌شد، که شاید بخاطر ترجمه باشه.
از اینجور بحثای توهم‌توهم و قاتی و گاهی بی‌معنی خوشم میاد!
