Opis

One of America's most provocative dramatists conquers new territory with this droll comedy of errors set in a Victorian drawing room.
Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming "women of fashion" who live together on the fringes of society.Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald.Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a young girl and wants to enlist the jealous Anna's help for an assignation.As the two women exchange barbs and taunt their hapless maid, Claire's inamorata arrives and sets off a crisis that puts both the valuable emerald and the women's future at risk.Mamet brings his trademark tart dialogue and impeccable plotting, spiced with Wildean wit, to this wickedly funny comedy."
