Glengarry Glen Ross

Mamet's script splits into two halves: first a series of tense conversations, then the fallout in the ransacked sales office the following morning. The salesmen compete for the good leads, the contact cards that decide who closes and who gets fired, and every exchange doubles as a negotiation, a con or a plea. It is a play built almost entirely on language, which rewards attentive listening and a decent seat. Seeing it at The Old Vic adds a sense of occasion, as the theatre at 103 The Cut is one of London's best-known playhouses and a long-standing home for major drama. Performances run in the evening at 19:30, Monday to Saturday, with no Sunday shows, so plan your week accordingly and allow time to arrive before curtain up. Booking is straightforward: choose your performance date, pick from the available seating options, and your mobile tickets arrive instantly. If the event is cancelled you receive a full refund. Demand for well-known plays in central London tends to concentrate around weekends, so midweek dates often offer the widest choice of seats for those with flexible plans.
