American Conservatory Theater says…

In Speed-the-Plow, playwright David Mamet dissects the behind-the-scenes manipulations and machinations that drive Hollywood. Bobby Gould can't decide between producing a lowbrow action flick or a human-interest story; his best friend is pushing for a blockbuster, while his sexy secretary pulls in the other direction. Expect plenty of sharp, witty dialogue — shot through with Mamet's fondness for blunt expletives — in this critical examination of human loyalties and power hierarchies in Tinseltown. For hardcore Mamet fans, there's also a chance to pitch an original script to ACT's writing contest, open in conjunction with the play.
