Reviews for AMERICAN BUFFALO are In…
An energetic new revival of American Buffalo opened on Broadway this week to mostly positive reviews, and looks to be a solid-enough production to withstand the recent cancellation cries due to playwright David Mamet’s recent incendiary remarks. Scott Pask’s set and Dede Ayite’s costumes both set the scene perfectly for standout performances from Sam Rockwell and Laurence Fishburne (Darren Criss’s performance by all accounts sadly leaves something to be desired.) Mamet’s once shocking dialogue style has been adopted by so many shows at this point that it now seems expected, even if the remarks out of some of the characters’ mouths prove no less shocking than those made by the playwright himself on TV the other day.
