Trade Review
"David Sauer has taken a key play in the 20th century canon, and, with critical insight and analytic skills, explained what made it such a key theatrical, but also social and political event. Mamet's Oleanna touched a nerve in American society. Sauer explains just why that was so without forgetting that it is first and foremost a deeply impressive dramatic work." - Professor Christopher Bigsby, School of American Studies, University of East Anglia, UK
