A review by ermamac
Romance by David Mamet
3.0
We read a scene from this in writing class and it was pretty funny, so I decided to borrow the play from my pal Lauren. Unfortunately when I took it home and read the rest of the play it wasn't nearly as funny. It was about this point that I realized Mamet is no fun to read, but fun to watch/listen to.
The characters in this play were such charactures of themselves that I didn't really feel for anyone. On the Mament language scale this gets about an 8 because most of the arguments start out as petty things and quickly escalate to racism with plenty of f-bombs sprinkled in for good measure. I can see the funny moments but they did not come through when I was just reading them off the page.
