GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
by David Mamet. MainLine Theatre; November 2018.
INTRIGUE – SUSPENSE – DECEPTION – CONTROVERSY
Mamet was influenced to write Glengarry Glen Ross out of a serious interest in the kind of people who quietly go about their lives, performing “regular” jobs yet endure indignities while doing so… It is an image of a society that Mamet obviously despises but finds fascinating.
– AB Oct, 2018 – THE SUBURBAN
Notoriously fueled by ‘the heat generated by men’, David Mamet’s searing 1983 Pulitzer Prize-winner Glengarry Glen Ross … is an exposé of the devastation wrought by toxic masculinity is more timely than ever. In any case, it is, on first glance, an unusual – and on second glance, pretty apt — choice for Acts To Grind Theatre.

Toured to Gananoque Royal Theatre May 2018.
9 nominations for the Broadway World Review Regional annual awards.
Winner best supporting actor, Bryan Libero.
With a barebones set, seasoned director Davyn Ryall shows some fun creative staging in bringing us into the Sawatsky home, McMillan’s restaurant, and the streets of Yorkville, although a few extra props could help with the suspension of disbelief.

Plan your 2018 Mother’s Day weekend outing by coming OUT to the Royal Theatre with your mom, your better half, or make it an entire family affair outing.
GOANAOQUE.CA – THE ROYAL THEATRE THOUSAND ISLAND
The rapidfire dialogue and action moves along at an incredibly fast pace, the language is very dense, almost like Shakespeare, and it’s filled to the brim with fantastic humorous Brad Fraser wit.

Melodramedy – Closer, Acts to Grind Theatre
« In its cutting contemporary picture of sexual desire and emotional failure, Closer is a brilliantly unusual virtual reality that rings true… » — NY Observer
– Mar, 2017 – Les Arts Zé
“Closer is a brilliant and bracingly adult play from London… bruising and beautiful, shatteringly funny and devastatingly sad. The play’s dialogue has a raw emotionality rarely heard in art or life. It cuts like broken glass… full of bitter, intelligent, unvarnished truth.” — Variety.
