'Do You Understand Yet? Do You See?'

Why 'Oleanna' Won't Leave us Alone

Do not the let the name David Mamet fool you. Although there’s certainly a “liberals are unrealistic children” message to be found in Oleanna, you can just as easily come away with the sense that the patriarchy must be dismantled at all costs. 

There is something here to please, and to infuriate, everybody.

It is this very quality that makes the play, and this production in particular, a high-water mark in the history of audio drama.

   

Let's get this out of the way right now: This recording of Oleanna has yet to receive a commercial release.
