←Recommendations of A Play about David Mamet Writing a Play about Harvey Weinstein

An awesome play that you really can’t see where it’s going. Super useful for the contextualization of a lot of other theatre in this moment.

holy fucking shit.
mathilde, i do not know you, but i love you.
thank you for writing this.

Why hasn't this play been produced yet? Funny, biting, clever, HONEST.

As I was looking up past writers from the Ojai Playwrights Conference, I ran across Mathilde's play and decided to read based on the title. I am so glad that I did. What an extremely funny and heart-breaking theatrical experience! It's a work that you can see clearly on stage as you read it and, unfortunately, I'm not at all surprised that this hasn't had a production. Just like the play "teaches", plays of this magnitude by women are rarely produced and that's a real shame. This work deserves to be seen!

Quite a roller-coaster of a work! As a fan and student of the Mamet Masterclass in playwriting, I have often been confronted with the challenge this piece examines - especially the "theater must entertain, not educate." I can also see both the cis white male problem vs the everyone else problem. Sadly, the final scene shouts to the fact that women, bipoc, LGBTQ+ and more have a place in the professional theater world and the rage expressed might be a bit misplaced? All in all, this had much funny and much poignant and much Wonderful and much horrible.

A genuinely provocative and rage-incuding work, Dratwa manages to really effortlessly tread the line between comedy and drama in this satire about playwriting. Genuinely made me furious at the male-dominated world of acting and arts, and made me question my own place and biases. Chock full of amazing fourth-wall breaking moments.

How in god's name has this play not been produced?! So so funny and moving. I want more plays like this please.

It is so much more than what it sounds like. I don't think I've read a play before that involved using a severed penis as a microphone and a laser pointer and also had me in tears by the end.

Over the top catharsis oozing with justified rage and tongue-in-cheek self-awareness

honestly still frustrated that this play hasn't had its major debut production yet
