A Contemporary, American Classic!

AMERICAN BUFFALO
by David Mamet

"… American Buffalo is one of the best American plays”   –The New York Times

Arguably David Mamet’s greatest work, this modern classic about petty crooks and the pitfalls of American business percolates with Mamet’s unmistakable style. In a Chicago South Side junk shop, three smalltime thieves, Don, Teach and Bobby, conspire to steal a valuable coin collection from a wealthy man. As these self-defined entrepreneurs plot a crime that never happens, they prove to be dark soul mates to those making headlines today.


American Buffalo runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes with a 10-minute intermission.
