Welcome to the brutal world of real estate—and to four Chicago salesmen competing to sell dubious properties to gullible customers. The stakes? Whoever makes the most money wins a car. And whoever makes the least gets fired. Ruthless ambition, toxic masculinity, and unconscionable capitalism collide in Glengarry Glen Ross, David Mamet’s searing 1984 play. Revived on Broadway under the direction of Patrick Marber, the production stars Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and the blazing Bill Burr. As the journalist Jason P. Frank put it in Vulture, “The country longs for a time when archetypal businessmen swore a lot and gave off an air of desperation but at least weren’t nerds like Elon Musk.” And here it is. —Jeanne Malle
