(Theatre, Defunkt Theatre, 2012). Glengarry Glen Ross centers on a cutthroat group of Chicago real estate agents locked in fierce competition to sell undesirable properties. The group of men scramble to outdo one another for the most sales, their desperation leading them to embrace unethical and illegal tactics. Their actions soon spiral out of control, and the arrival of a detective signals the unraveling of their schemes. This gripping production delves into the ruthless nature of this male dominated real estate industry, combining sharp dialogue with fast-paced drama. In a bold casting choice, two key roles—Roma and Levine—are portrayed by women in this production, adding fresh layers to the gendered power dynamics and tension on stage.
