Pulitzer Prize—winning playwright David Mamet’s Romance can be an uproarious, take-no-prisoners courtroom comedy that gleefully lampoons everyone from legal representatives and judges, to Arabs and Jews, to gays and chiropractors.
It’s hay fever season, and in a courtroom a judge is popping antihistamines. He listens to the testimony of a Jewish chiropractor, who’s a liar, according to his anti-Semitic defense attorney. The prosecutor, a homosexual, is having a domestic squabble along with his lover, who shows up in court in a leopard-print thong. And all the while, a Middle East peace conference is occurring. Masterfully wielding the argot of the courtroom, David Mamet creates a global in microcosm where shameless fawning, petty prejudices, and sheer caprice hold sway, and the noble apparatus of law and order degenerates into riotous profanity.
