  4. Confronting artist Kara Walker

    Kara Walker will be difficult. This gets whispered to you by enough people in the art world and you start to believe it: She's humorless!

  5. Arguments in 'Race' fly fast, furious and recklessly close at the Goodman

    THEATER REVIEW: "Race" at the Goodman Theatre ★★★½ ... There is no shrewder scribe than that ideologically slippery writer David Mamet, who figured out that the one problem with all those careful plays about racism is that many of them are, well, boring.
    There is no shrewder scribe than that ideologically slippery, made-in-Chicago fox David Mamet, who deftly figured out that the one problem with all those very careful, earnest and politically correct plays about America struggling to come to terms with...

  7. New Mamet play toast on Broadway

    David Mamet has found himself confronting something unfamiliar: a Broadway flop. The producers of "The Anarchist," the newest Mamet drama, announced Tuesday that the production, which stars Patti LuPone and Debra Winger, will end its Broadway run on...

  8. Mamet's 'The Anarchist' is slow to forgive, forget

    <strong>NEW YORK </strong>&mdash; The Weathermen and their &ldquo;Days of Rage&rdquo; in 1969 emerged from the dimly remembered past during the 2008 presidential campaign when fevered attempts were made by the Republican Party to closely link Barack Obama with Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Judy Clark, who were involved in those violent events in Chicago. More than four years later, these are generally regarded on both sides of the aisle as tired lines of attack and, self-evidently, they did not keep Obama from winning the White House, twice. David Mamet, though, clearly remains engaged &mdash; heck, enraged &mdash; by the ability of the former members of the Weather Underground Organization to rehabilitate themselves and find a measure of absolution from an American public that has moved on, as the American public usually tends to do.

  9. Movie gangsters so bad they're good

    One hundred and one years ago, D.W. Griffith gave us &quot;The Musketeers of Pig Alley," often credited as the first gangster film, and once sound came in, nothing hooked movie audiences during the early 1930s more reliably than Edward G. Robinson or James Cagney doing harm to their rivals and, for a while, eluding the law while enjoying the spoils of their own private wars.

  10. 'Gangster Squad' a fusillade of bullets and cliches ★★

    A triumph of production design but a pretty dull kill-'em-up otherwise, the post-World War II-set &quot;Gangster Squad" comes from the director of "Zombieland," Ruben Fleischer. It's clear Fleischer, who also made "30 Minutes or Less," hadn't worked through his "Zombieland" jones by the time he got to his latest film. I liked "Zombieland," which made a strong case for its brand of viscera and wisecracks. But "Gangster Squad" is a different sort of picture, or should be.

  11. Our town was Wilder's town too

    New biography sheds light on Thornton Wilder, the influence of his childhood and his love of Chicago
    Chicago makes a claim on many writers — Nelson Algren, David Mamet, Ernest Hemingway, Carl Sandburg — even if those scribes spent only a portion of their lives within its sweet confines. But Thornton Wilder, the author of such iconic plays...

  12. On New York stages, a year full of letdowns

    The year 2012, as Queen Elizabeth II might have said, was quite the annus horribilis on Broadway. Especially after the leaves started to turn. Consider the less-than-regal disappointments. "The Anarchist," the polemical new play by David Mamet, closed...
