OLEANNA

by David Mamet

"Now you know, do you see? What it is to be subject to that power. Who do you think I am? To come here and be taken in by a smile. You little yapping fool. You think I want revenge. I don't want revenge. I WANT UNDERSTANDING. "

" Oleanna is simple, yet subtle, deeply moving, and ultimately terrifying. . . Mona Wood-Patterson, Charles Ford, and Amy Fitts have combined their considerable talents and created a major theatrical event for Durango audiences. More than a good show, Oleanna is a dramatic experience. See it, and you'll begin to understand what the Greek dramatists meant by catharsis." - Charlie Langdon, The Durango Herald
