Raúl Esparza, William H. Macy and Elisabeth Moss star in the 20th-anniversary staging of David Mamet's dark comedy.

The trio of troupers waxed poetic about Mamet's stellar script and the play's searing comic edge, while director Neil Pepe (the Atlantic Theater Company's longtime artistic director, who will be making his Broadway directorial debut) sang his cast's praises, promising a sassier (and, as producer Jeffrey Richards said, "sexier") production than the one which famously starred Madonna 20 years ago.
