Customer Review

Brilliant Wordsmith
David Mamet proves time and time again that he has mastered the language of men and women alike. Sexual Perversity is an abrasive but honest look at the state of sex in the minds of adults during the post-collegiate and early career building years. Mamet, as in all of his plays, shows honest humanity in tangible, easily-believed characters. The language is obscene & perverse but horrificly true-to-life and natural. Working with nothing more thant stereotypes, he chisels out characters so real and so vivid as to leave the audience thirsting for more. David Mamet has proven himself time and time again that he is a not only the definitive analysis of pop culture and modern trends, but also a brilliant wordsmith as well.

Learn about Sex & Ducks
I must confess the only reason that I read "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" was because of the movie it inspired "" I must have watched this movie a million times having a love and hate for it, these feelings are explained in full detail in my review here on Amazon.My interest was always peaked about the catalyst of the 1986 film, so I have wanted to read the play for quite sometime now. My brother bought me this book for my birthday and now I was finally able to satisfy my curiosity. This book features two plays "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" and "The Duck Variations", both written by David Mamet.The play is totally different from the film. (From my understanding David Mamet loathed "About Last Night"...) The dialogue is much rawer, in your face, honest and not quite as jovial. There is a still...

Product Description

The Duck Variations is a dialogue between two old men sitting on a park bench. The conversation turns to the mating habits of ducks, but soon begins to reveal their feelings about natural law, friendship, and death. New York magazine has called The Duck Variations a gorgeously written, wonderfully observant piece whose timing and atmosphere are close to flawless.”

Whoroscope and the Fowl Permutations
Forget *Swingers*, forget *High Fidelity*, forget Tarantino's trash-talking hoods, David Mamet got there way before these belated young Turks. *Sexual Perversity in Chicago* is a brilliant, in-your-face series of vignettes sloshing through the muck of modern relationships. Two men and two women lock horns in a lewd scrimmage of blackly funny narcissistic power-plays, a despairing search for flitting, short-lived solace and pleasure, blasted by cruelty, impatience, tooth-and-claw feral soliloquy on why the opposite gender is one-part vampire, one-part Machiavel, can't live with them, can't sell them for parts (tee-hee).Metropolitan swingers circling the drain of mean-streets cynicism and tough-talking bachelorhood, trawling the muddy waters of singles bars and yuppie night spots, searching for that ephemeral ounce of pleasure in a world of subterfuge and delay, mind-games and cruel deception, an odium of broken expectations and buried dreams.... Funny as the play is, it's...

Product Description

Comedy

Characters: 2 males, 2 females

Bare stage, movable props

The Obie award-winning Sexual Perversity in Chicago "takes funny and painful digs at the fantasies and distances of the contemporary sexual game," according to The New York Times. Two male office workers, Danny and Bernie, are on the make in the swinging singles scene of the early 1970's. Danny meets Deborah in a library and soon they are lovers as well as roommates. The other couple, Bernie and Joan, seem to have the politics of sex down pat but are as confused as their more naive counterparts. After much comic drama, the two men end as they started, talking a good game in the local bar.

Chicago is 37-27 ATS this season and 33-25 ATS as a favorite. Neither team will represent a threat to Derrick Rose’s Chicago Bulls. They are 21-24 ATs in the second half of the season and 15-14 ATS vs teams with winning records. Indiana is 32-33 ATS this season and 15-17 ATS at home. They are 20-12 ATS on the road and 13-4 ATS after a non-conference game. Indiana is likely going to draw Orlando in the first round, and I honestly feel the Pacers can dispose of the Dwight Howard-less, and likely Turkoglu-less, Magic, in five games.

The students contend that the average DePaul undergraduate student shoulders a $28,000 student loan debt and the average graduate student loans amounting to $51,000, and that students cannot afford much more. CHICAGO (WBBM) – Following several days of protests by a small but determined band of students, DePaul University’s trustees went to great lengths Saturday to try to avoid them as they debated a tuition increase. Told initially that the trustees would meet in the Student Center on DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus at 9 a. m. Saturday, 25 protesters gathered at about 7:30 a. m. A short time later, they were told the location of the trustees’ meeting had been...

Protesting tuition hikes up for a board of trustees vote today, DePaul University students staged a sit-in dubbed #OccupyDePaul that began Thursday. Graduate student James Murphy said he is disappointed, but not surprised, with what one protester characterized as “cut and run” tactics by the trustees. DePaul administration issued a statement which said it is trying to keep tuition affordable, contemplates one of its smallest increases ever, and is boosting available financial aid. “DePaul makes prudent use of tuition dollars by continually investing to enrich academic quality and provide the best educational opportunities for students as possible. “Like many institutions, DePaul is facing increases in the costs of serving our students,” the statement read. More than 125 top faculty members at the University of Illinois signed off on a vote of no confidence in school president Michael Hogan sent to U of I trustees.
