Elliot's Directorial Debut
I'm terribly late in posting this. But at least it's still before the fact! Elliot will be making his directorial debut in an Off-West End production of David Mamet's Edmond. Seats are priced at £10 each and are limited to 52 for each performance.
Play synopsis:Played out in 23 quick fire scenes, Mamet's Edmond charts the rapid fall of a New York businessman who leaves his wife and job after a meeting with a fortune-teller. Freed from the responsibilities of his former life, Edmond plunges into a sordid world of pimps, peepshows and prostitutes where he is mugged and robbed and embarks on a career of violence. It is only when he has lost everything that Edmond crawls out of the moral abyss and finds hope of redemption.
