Speed-The-Plow, a play by David Mamet at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Starring Jeremy Piven, Raul Esparza, Elisabeth Moss. This crack revival of David Mamet's play about Hollywood heavy hitters is tremendous entertainment, better in fact than the original New York production which had gimmick casting with Madonna. The ebulliant Jeremy Piven is seemingly typecast as Bobby Gould, but in fact, the superficial resemblance to his TV character on Entourage is quickly forgotten as Piven's Gould is, unlike Ari Gold, a tortured, insecure, disloyal, and conflicted studio honcho. Piven is simply brilliant while Raul Esparza is astonishing as Charlie Fox and a Tony nomination is surely in the cards for him. Esparza's Fox is a fully defined character, hungry, desperate even, and willing to go to the mat to fight to get his film project greenlighted. Esparza pulls out all the stops, prowling the stage like an angry wraith, but a ruefully funny one. His rival for Gould's loyalty is played by Elisabeth Moss as an enigmatic secretary who is more than she seems at first. This elicits the inevitable comparison to her role on Mad Men, but they are in fact very different roles. Here Moss is a manipulator, hard, calculating, and clueless. Moss finds depths in this role that were completely beyond the meager abilities of Madonna. The 90 minutes of Speed-The-Plow fly by in the capable hands of this superb trio.
