Onstage at the Reagan Library with David Mamet - An IN PERSON event

Please join us for an in-person event with Pulitzer Prize winning American Playwright David Mamet for a conversation on his latest book, Recessional: The Death of Free Speech and the Cost of a Free Lunch (Publish Date: April 5, 2022), at the Reagan Library. The event is free to attend; Reservations are not required for this event. All walk-ins are welcome.

In Recessional, the man who won the Pulitzer Prize for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, who wrote the classic films THE VERDICT and WAG THE DOG sounds his alarm about the Visigoths at our gates by calling out and dissecting the virus of conformity which he says is now an existential threat to the West. Recessional examines how politics and cultural attitudes about rebellion have shifted in the United States in the last generation. By screaming down freedom of thought and expression, Mamet explains, we kill invention and democracy – the foundations of security and growth.

David Mamet is one of the foremost American playwrights. He has won a Pulitzer prize and received Tony nominations for his plays, Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed-the-Plow. His screenwriting credits include The Verdict and The Untouchables.
