Back in the 1990s, David Mamet made a direct surgical strike on feminism and political correctness in academia. We can’t wait to see if it holds up. Julia Stiles locks horns with Bill Pullman in this production, a transfer from Los Angeles.—David Cote

The first 20 minutes made me wonder why there was a play about a girl so stupid. Then, it happens. What great performances and what a schemer she is. Julia Stiles develops from a little mousy girl into a real shrew. Don't miss it.
