GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS

MARCH 22

Life Gave Us Lemmon

Based off David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize winning play of the same name, director James Foley turned Mamet's adapted screenplay into an incendiary portrait of American workers in cutthroat crisis, at turns wickedly funny and utterly devastating. Despite critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination for Al Pacino, Glengarry Glen Ross bombed in 1992, but has rightly found cult fame today. The story is even more poignant in 2025, as evidenced by a new Broadway revival starring Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk.

When an office full of New York City real estate salesmen is given the news that all but the top two will be fired at the end of the week, the atmosphere begins to heat up. Shelley Levene (Jack Lemmon), who has a sick daughter, does everything in his power to get better leads from his boss, John Williamson (Kevin Spacey), but to no avail. When his coworker Dave Moss (Ed Harris) comes up with a plan to steal the leads, things get complicated for the tough-talking salesmen.
