Glengarry Glen Ross is a scalding comedy that took Broadway and London by storm and won a Pulitzer Prize. Never has the author's ear for the rhythms of contemporary speech been more keen than in this tale of cutthroat competition among real estate salesmen. Roma is in the lead for the monthly sales award, a new Cadillac, while former top salesman Shelly Levene is riding a streak of bad luck. They depend on Williamson to give them hot leads, and Williamson ruthlessly pits them against each other. In the first act, the salesmen vie for position as they gulp their cocktails in the local Chinese restaurant. The second act shifts to the office, where the promising Glengarry Glen Ross leads have been filched. Eventually, Williamson screws Roma out of his car and nabs the bag man.
