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.
