The Shawl
The Shawl is a four-act play by David Mamet. It premiered at the Goodman Theatre New Theatre Company in Chicago in 1985.
The play concerns two men, John and Charles, who plan on defrauding Miss A out of her inheritance. The play scams and deceives to the very end, while emphasising the truth repeatedly.
==Background==
According to Lindsay Crouse " 'David told me once that he started to write 'The Shawl' in part because people said to him, 'You always write such wonderful characters but you don't write plot,'.... So he set out to exercise plot-writing as a craft. And I think it came out beautifully. Everybody gets fooled at least once in this play.' "〔Freedman, Samuel G.("Theater Returns To Lincoln Center" ) ''The New York Times'', December 21, 1985〕 ''The New York Times'' noted that "while ''The Shawl'' does not pretend at realism - Mr. Mamet has called it ''my 'Twilight Zone' episode'' - it must convince the audience that an educated, middle-class woman would put her faith into a mind reader. And the psychic himself is not some gypsy in paisley but a middle-aged man who is worried about losing his young, homosexual lover."〔
