	Bobby Gould has just hit the big time! He has become Head of Production at one of Hollywood's most successful production companies. Now everyone wants a piece of him. His old friend and colleague, Charlie Fox, offers him the opportunity to start his new job off with a bang. One of Hollywood's hottest stars wants to direct what will undoubtably be the summer's biggest blockbuster. If Bobby agrees to make Charlie a co-producer, they both stand to make a lot of money, both for the company and themselves. Now, in walks Karen, a temp filling in for Bobby's sick receptionist. Her youth and naivete strike Bobby immediately. She offers Bobby the chance to save his soul. He can't do both. Which will he choose? Riches and fame, or his immortal soul? Come see Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Mamet's work about the corruption of Hollywood, and the depths (and heights) we'll go to for money, love and redemption.

In this biting black comedy, he turns his razor-sharp wit on the film industry: can integrity, morality, or reality itself survive in that atmosphere of illusion, backstabbing, manipulation, sex, and money? " "Considered one of David Mamet's best plays, "Speed-The-Plow" is a twisted and tangled web of friendship, loyalty, idealism, sex and ambition in the business of Hollywood show business. "
