    <body><![CDATA[I will say about Oleanna that when I saw Mamet's production of the play, I thought it was one of the most offensive depictions of feminism, so-called political correctness and campus life I'd ever seen. Then I was asked to be the dramaturg on the Yale Rep's production of the play, and discovered it'...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13291668">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first &quot;real&quot; play I acted. Acting is scary shit man, especially with something as formidable as this. No doubt I didn't do Mamet justice.

    <body><![CDATA[A really interesting play (I base my review on the text, not on any performance).  Mamet's politics are dubious here, and terrible in general.
