Now Playing on Broadway
at the Golden Theatre

OLEANNA is Pulitzer Prize winner DAVID MAMET's most controversial drama. This gripping production, directed by Tony winner DOUG HUGHES and starring BILL PULLMAN and JULIA STILES, had LA audiences gasping and critics raving. Now this landmark play comes to Broadway - for the first time ever - with the crackle and force of wildfire.

OLEANNA has electrifying dialogue, blazing emotion and an ending that will leave you talking for weeks. In this riveting drama, a college professor and his female student become embroiled in a war of words that takes a dangerous turn. As their serene campus transforms into a battleground for justice, Mamet's explosive masterpiece dares you to take a side . . . if you can.

Direct from a smash Los Angeles engagement, David Mamet’s Oleanna is a gripping account of a power struggle between a male university professor and one of his female students. Starring Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles and directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes, David's Mamet's incendiary play is regarded as one of the most provocative dramas of our time -- dividing audiences into heated debate by compelling them to side with either character. This new production marks the long-awaited Broadway premiere of this visceral, modern-day classic.
