David Mamet's gift for storytelling and forging poetry from both the plain-spoken and profane turns an ill-conceived scheme to steal a rare coin into a triumph of dramatic art. In a junk shop, three men of different generations plan their heist. But their fates, like the nickel's worn image of the beleaguered buffalo, may have been sealed long ago.

In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by panic—with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbors eager to testify against neighbor—The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held the United States in its grip in the 1950’s.

Arthur Miller’s deeply moving drama reunites two long estranged middle-aged brothers. Nostalgia and recrimination erupt as they sell off an attic full of furniture, their last link to a family and a world that no longer exists. This 1968 classic is a wrenching saga of plaintive gestures and missed opportunities. A co-production with the BBC.

Heavily cut.
Dinner theatre in LA! Baldwins part as fine as are many of the subtleties of the stage play and screenplay. It’s not bad but not great despite the relatively stellar cast. How can anyone follow Jack Lemmon, Spacey, Price, Atkins, Ed Harris , Pacino, Baldwin? Great writing nevertheless.

Great Play, Great cast
Where does Glengarry Glen Ross rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
High, I am a fan of the three leads and it was great to hear them all together in this.
What about the narrators’s performance did you like?
Each are fine speakers and all had great performances in this. Done in front of a live audience this protection took me there and in my minds eye I could see each of them there in front of me. A great performance.

Top notch, dramatic acting in a great story.
This play is beautifully presented. The actors are fabulous. (In my mind I kept hearing Fat Tony from the Simpsons every time Roma speaks, though. "Let us meet and greet this individual.")
I found it a bit challenging to follow some of the twists and turns in the story towards the end. That's not surprising as it is a play and if I had been watching it instead of listening while driving in rush hour traffic, I could have better segregated the characters and their actions in mind.
I did not take off any stars on that score, but may try to locate a copy of the movie just to get things straight in my mind once and for all.
Highly recommended.

Film can't be topped.
For what this is, it isn't bad. I've mentally compared this to the film with the all-star cast. These actors are top notch, but the film cast was top top shelf.
I'd be better off just grabbing the full film audio track and listening to that.

Would you listen to Glengarry Glen Ross again? Why?
Yes. I feel like there's more to be gained through a second listen. It's short, so it's not a major task.

Good, but leaves you hanging
First up, the performance was excellent. I wish I could have seen the stage production after listening.
As for the story, that suffers from the time constraints that a play imposes. It seems like the book is just getting going when it ends. The subject matter itself is a little on the week side. It highlights the cut-throat atmosphere of high pressure salesmen, but this is a segment of society whom with anyone would have a hard time empathizing.
A short listen, I recommend you give this version a try even just to experience the full cast performance.

powerful performance
I've never seen this play produced, but I have seen the movie so I was prepared for the strong language and palpable anger in the dialogue.......and these performers do a wonderful job. The anger and fear is almost palpable among the salesmen of a real estate development as they struggle to sell properties to feed their families and rank higher than their coworkers on the sales board each month, so they can get better sales leads the next month to try and hustle to earn enough to feed their families again.
If you've never listened to a live performance it might take a bit to get used to the sounds of the audience applauding, for instance, but it's worth it to hear this great script and great performers.

Sounds like they're reading from a script
It's a shame because I love the story and was hoping for a different perspective. I guess you just can't compare it to to the movie with grade A actors because they can suck you into the story. These guys however can't. I was very aware that I was listening to a script.

Where's the ABC speech?
For some reason this version is missing the character that was played by Alec Baldwin, Blake. There's no always be closing speech, no explanation of the sales contest and cadillac prize. That scene was a classic, the best scene in the movie, and without that context this audiobook falls flat. Don't get me wrong though, the performances by Mantagena and Dreyfuss were stellar.
