David Mamet tackles America’s most controversial topic in a provocative new tale of sex, guilt, and bold accusation.  Two lawyers find themselves defending a wealthy white executive charged with raping a black woman.  When a new legal assistant gets involved in the case, the opinions that boil beneath explode to the surface.  When David Mamet turns the spotlight on what we think but can’t say, dangerous truths are revealed and no punches are spared.

Theatre--Performance

Eavesdrop Theatre presents A Retrospective: Pawn’s Gambit, Getting Rid of Horace and Snuff Flick, three hysterical One-Act plays, August 12-13 and August 19-20 at 7:30 p.m. and August 14 and 21 at 2:00 p.m. at Cite Des Arts, 109 Vine Street, Lafayette, Louisiana.

Written by ULL Emeritus Professor of English John W. Fiero and directed by Daniel Ladmirault, this rollicking production examines the power of persuasion against three distinct backdrops: an exclusive all male social club, an upscale suburban neighborhood and a Hollywood movie set. “These plays cast a humourous spotlight on the ‘Alpha Male’ and those who love him,” says Ladmirault. “ They also serve to bring awareness to a very brilliant local comic playwright who has largely gone unnoticed, except for the lucky few who know John Fiero and his work.”

The cast members are Shane Guilbeau, Alexandra Culotta, Bob Sidman, John W. Fiero, Christy Leichty, Carmen Nicholson, Elizabeth Austin, Amanda Newberry, Stacy Broussard and Daniel Ladmirault. Matthew Humphrey is the Stage Manager/ Assistant Director and Grady Roy is the Light and Sound Technician.
