A Life in the Theatre |
New York |
Before
David Mamet was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, he was a
young actor just learning about what it meant to have A Life
in the Theatre.
A Life in the Theatre was inspired by those earlier
days…an inside look into the world of theatre told from the
backstage viewpoint of two actors in a repertory company: Robert (Patrick
Stewart), an older, experienced performer and John (T.R.
Knight),
a newcomer to the stage. John at first welcomes Robert’s
guidance, but soon overshadows his mentor. A Life in the
Theatre is Mamet's intimate and hilarious love letter to the
theatre, where he gently ridicules the juxtaposition between the
backstage life of actors and what those same actors create on
stage. The play gives a glimpse into the complex relationship that
develops as the torch is passed from one generation to the next -
a passing that wavers from love and mutual respect to impatience
and resentment.
Cast members
include Patrick Stewart and T.R. Knight.
