The Anarchist (Lupone, Winger)
Choose options
David Mamet’s taut, fiercely intellectual ideological drama 'The Anarchist' turned the stage of the Golden Theatre into a claustrophobic, real-time battleground of language, power, and faith in 2012. The narrative unfolds inside a sterile prison meeting room where a long-serving, notorious radical left-wing political activist who was incarcerated decades prior for a fatal bank heist pleads for parole, engaging in a complex semantic war with a fiercely dogmatic, unyielding warden on the eve of her retirement. Directed by Mamet himself, the blistering, uninterrupted production achieved immense cultural profile due to its powerhouse two-woman casting, uniting Broadway legend Patti LuPone with Hollywood icon Debra Winger in her highly anticipated stage debut.
