Drama on 3: Glengarry Glen Ross Sun 20th Mar 2005, 20:05 on BBC Radio 3 David Mamet's radio adaptation of his Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Chicago real-estate salesmen grind out a living in a never-ending scramble for their share of the American dream.   Featuring an all-star cast, specially recorded for Drama on 3 at Voicebox Studios, Los Angeles. This play contains strong language. Producers Rosalind Ayres, Martin Jarvis and David Mamet Richard Roma:…..Alfred Molina George Aaronow:…..Stacy Keach Shelly Levene:….Hector Elizondo James Lingk:…..Bruce Davison John Williamson:…..Richard Cox Dave Moss:…Kristoffer Tabori Officer Baylen:….Chris Hatfield This scalding comedy took Broadway and London by storm.   The title of the play comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters (Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms). Mamet had sent the play to Harold Pinter for comment, who admired it and, as an associate director to Peter Hall, recommended it for production. As a result the world premiere was at the National Theatre in London on September 21, 1983, where Bill Bryden's production in the Cottesloe was acclaimed as a triumph of ensemble acting. The play opened on Broadway on March 25, 1984 and closed on February 17, 1985.  The production was directed by Gregory Mosher and starred Joe Mantegna, Mike Nussbaum, Robert Prosky, Lane Smith, James Tolkan, Jack Wallace, and J.T. Walsh. The production was nominated for four Tony awards including Best Play, Best Director, and two Best Actor nominations for Robert Prosky and Joe Mantegna, who won the production's one Tony.
