{"product_id":"david-mamets-oleanna-david-k-sauer-9780826496461","title":"David Mamet's Oleanna","description":"David Mamet is widely considered to be the voice of contemporary American Theatre. His use of what is taken to be realistic language together with minimalist staging creates a postmodern combination that pushes an audience in conflicting directions. The result is that initial audiences for \u003ci\u003eOleanna\u003c\/i\u003e were aroused to applaud and loudly react to the ending of the play when a male teacher beats a female student. The issues the play raises about political correctness are turned on their head. \u003ci\u003eOleanna\u003c\/i\u003e is a particularly complex play in terms of both form and content and this guide offers a theoretically informed introductory analysis. It provides students with a comprehensive critical introduction to the play and includes new interpretations of the text in light of recent developments in Mamet's playwriting and the intervening shifts in the political landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Sauer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826496466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826496461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"David Sauer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120372805887,"sku":"9780826496461","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f32d193-47c6-4288-8056-9cd4f2a7d869.jpg?v=1687413965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/david-mamets-oleanna-david-k-sauer-9780826496461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
