Locked in a conflict of language, sex and power

David Mamet's Oleanna stars Aaron Eckhart and Julia Stiles and is directed by Lindsay Posner.

"Everybody should experience the shock of this play!" The Sunday Times 1998

In the first West End revival of Mamet's powerful classic since it premiered over ten years ago, Eckhart and Stiles will take on the roles of professor and pupil locked in a conflict of language, sex and power. When Oleanna premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, in June 1993, the play hit the headlines of the national newspapers, dividing both the press and the audience in what became a must-see event on both sides of the Atlantic.

Lindsay Posner says: "I have deliberately cast slightly younger actors in this near mythical power struggle between two people, to reinforce the ambiguity of the piece; both psychological and sexual. This is a play not just for the 90s but for many a decade to come."

"Aaron Eckhart and Julia Stiles electrifyingly proving their worth" The Independent on Sunday

"Thought-provoking theatre at its best" The Daily Mirror

"This sharp, shock of a play delivers a knockout punch" The Daily Telegraph

"Unmissable" The Independent
