Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet is a tense, darkly comic play about real estate salesmen under pressure to succeed. Facing high-stakes competition, desperation, and ethical compromise, the characters reveal greed, betrayal, and the human cost of ambition in a cutthroat business world.
The play opens in an intimate, dimly lit restaurant, where characters reveal frustrations they cannot show at work. The transition to the office — messy, worn, and exposed under harsh lighting — mirrors the cutthroat world of sales, where every move is scrutinized and every failure carries consequences. Ambition, greed, and desperation collide, exposing the human cost of competition and the lengths people will go to stay on the “hamster wheel” of success.
