JET is proud to present the midwest premiere of David Mamet’s crackling new drama, Race.

On full display in this important play are David Mamet’s rapid-fire dialogue, plot twists, and the ultimate realization that most people have their own agendas, are weighted down with self-interest, and have no reluctance to betray each other.

This dazzling, instant classic concerns a would-be client accused of rape and his defense that is plotted by a very small law firm with its two lead lawyers and young associate.  And yes, it comes complete with the bad-faith twist and the sustained surge of words rushing toward collision that are guaranteed to let you know that this is a Mamet masterpiece.

The client comes to the lawyers insisting he is innocent, that it was consensual sex, that he and the African American plaintiff were lovers.  Justice hinges on the surprise the cagey lawyer has ready for the jury.

Whether Mamet is endlessly inventive or just a careful observer in a world where everybody is on the make, you won’t want to miss this.  In the meantime, you’d better not trust anyone or you’ll get a terrible surprise, and it won’t just be in the theater.  Whatever David Mamet touches turns into the truth.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: This play contains provocative language and racial and sexual references.  As with all of our JET produced shows, ticket exchanges are welcome prior to your performance date.
