Glengarry Glen Ross

Glengarry Glen Ross

Theatre Royal, Glasgow

Lies. Greed. Corruption. It’s business as usual. Read more …

Set in an office of cut-throat Chicago salesmen. Pitched in a high-stakes competition against each other, four increasingly desperate employees will do anything, legal or otherwise, to sell the most real estate. As time and luck start to run out, the mantra is simple: close the deal and you've won a Cadillac; blow the lead and you're f****d.


The critical consensus

Their characters may be bastards, but their brashness is captivating. As is this touring production which is a swaggering walk on the wild side of cutthroat capitalism.

*****Peter Callaghan, Review Sphere, 09/04/2019

In this way, looking at the play today is like jumping into a time capsule to revisit the ghosts of economic disasters past.

****(*)Neil Cooper, Coffee-Table Notes, 09/04/2019

Glengarry Glen Ross remains a savage examination of a way of life that largely failed to pervade the UK, a snap-shot of a period of time that thankfully is all but gone, but, to be frank, it has lost some its power as the years have passed. Worth watching even if only to celebrate a culture and way of life best left behind.

***(*)(*)Lauren Humphreys, The Reviews Hub, 09/04/2019

This show is slick with some witty dialogue, but some of the jokes are perhaps less acceptable in today's society and seemed to miss the mark with the audience. The whole cast put in a stellar performance, but Harman shines as the smooth-talking Roma, and the audience were quickly absorbed in this brutal portrait of capitalism.

***(*)(*)Ceri Boyd, Broadway World, 10/04/2019

An excellent cast close the deal.
