Sinossi
Nel piccolo e fatiscente negozio di un rigattiere di Chicago, un cliente si imbatte in un vecchio nichelino (l'American Buffalo) e lo compra per soli 90 dollari. Quando il proprietario del posto, Don, viene a conoscenza del valore reale di quella monetina si sente defraudato ingiustamente e decide di averla indietro a tutti i costi, rubandola. A tale scopo coinvolge nel suo progetto il giovane amico Bobby e Teach, uno spaccone paranoico e violento. I tre cospiratori portano avanti il piano criminale come se si trattasse di una normale transazione d'affari. Quando invece il piano fallisce e la frustrazione che ne deriva è insopportabile, Don, Bobby e Teach si trasformano in individui senza scrupoli che non esitano a scagliarsi l'uno contro l'altro senza esclusione di colpi.

Βαθμολογία: 7/10 Αυτό είναι το δεύτερο θεατρικό έργο του Ντέιβιντ Μάμετ που διαβάζω, μετά το κλασικό "Οικόπεδα με θέα" που διάβασα στις αρχές του 2017. Αυτή τη φορά, όμως, δεν δηλώνω και ιδιαίτερα ικανοποιημένος. Δηλαδή, εντάξει, σαν θεατρικό έργο καλούτσικο μου φάνηκε, ιδιαίτερο και κυνικό, όμως γεν Leggi tutto
