100 word review: Oleanna

It's a very short and to the point play. David Mamet is known for his natural dialogue and, while it is good, it makes it a play that should be watched rather than read. The constant uncompleted sentences and non-fluency features got on my nerves. The play is good for its observation rather than plot. It looks at the power struggle between man and woman and also questions the role of University in people's lives. I would recommend this play and if you have a chance to see it, do that above reading it. Or do both. Definitely WATCH it.
