RACE by David Mamet




RACE


is David Mamet’s hit play about racial relations in America.


This thought-provoking play challenges all of us to think about how


we approach the topic of and eventually deal with our beliefs about


race.




RACE


begins as wealthy white man, accused of raping a black woman –


allegations of which have been plastered all over the news, turns to


the law firm of Lawson and Brown - two male partners (one white, one


black) whom he thinks, because of their past successes and racial


make up can defend him successfully against the charges. But, he


does not count on their new, female, black attorney who sees the


world a little differently from her male counterparts.
