David Mamet’s present for storytelling and forging poetry from both plain-spoken and profane changes an ill-conceived scheme to grab a uncommon coin right into a triumph of dramatic artwork. In a junk shop, three guys of different years strategy their heist. But their fates, like the nickel’s worn image of the beleaguered buffalo, may have been sealed way back when. An L.A. Theater Works full-cast production starring Full Hutchman as Donny DuBrow, Josh Stamberg as Walter Cole (Teacher), and Maurice Williams as Bobby. Directed by Brian Kite and recorded before an market by L.A. Theatre Works.
