{"product_id":"the-spanish-prisoner-and-the-david-mamet-9780375706646","title":"The Spanish Prisoner and the Winslow Boy: Two Screenplays","description":"Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet ranks among the century's most influential writers for stage and screen. His dialogue--abrasive, rhythmic--illuminates a modern aesthetic evocative of Samuel Beckett. His plots--surprising, comic, topical--have evoked comparisons to masters from Alfred Hitchcock to Arthur Miller. Here are two screenplays demonstrating the astounding range of Mamet's talents. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e The Spanish Prisoner\u003c\/i\u003e, a neo-noir thriller about a research-and-development cog hoodwinked out of his own brilliant discovery, demonstrates Mamet's incomparable use of character in a dizzying tale of twists and mistaken identity. \u003ci\u003eThe Winslow Boy\u003c\/i\u003e, Mamet's revisitation of Terence Rattigan's classic 1946 play, tells of a thirteen-year-old boy accused of stealing a five-shilling postal order and the tug of war for truth that ensues between his middle-class family and the Royal Navy. Crackling with wit, intelligent and surprising, \u003ci\u003e The Spanish Prisoner\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Winslow Boy\u003c\/i\u003e celebrate Mamet's unique genius and our eternal fascination with the extraordinary predicaments of the common man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Mamet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 037570664X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375706646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.21w x 0.65d","brand":"David Mamet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45331708838143,"sku":"9780375706646","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f185beb-9ccb-4267-a057-d718481422cd.jpg?v=1713970681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spanish-prisoner-and-the-david-mamet-9780375706646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
