‘A Play About David Mamet Writing a Play About Harvey Weinstein’ to Stage New York Reading With Abbi Jacobson, Billy Eichner
'A Play About David Mamet Writing a Play About Harvey Weinstein' will stage a charity reading this summer in New York City.
It’s true that Mamet, the Pulitzer prize-winning playwright and screenwriter of “Glengarry Glen Ross,” “The Anarchist,” “House of Games” and “Wag the Dog,” wrote a #MeToo-inspired stage show called “Bitter Wheat” about the downfall of a Weinstein-esque film mogul. “We have been enamored with Mathilde’s audacious, surprising, and moving play since we first read it,” producers George Strus and Rachel Sussman said in a joint statement. “We are thrilled to have assembled this stellar cast under Leslye Headland’s leadership to support the unceasing work of the NYCLU at this crucial moment.”
