Winner of the 1976 Obie award and the 1977 Drama Critics Circle Award, American Buffalo was David Mamet’s first Broadway play. It tells of three small time crooks in a Chicago junk shop who plot to “rip off” a valuable coin collection. The play examines what has become of our ideas about free enterprise and other founding principles in terms that are alternatively funny and brutal. Its language is raw; its characterizations uncompromising.
