OLEANNA

by David Mamet

“Now you know, do you see?   What it is to be subject to that power. Who do you think I am?   To come here and be taken in by a smile.   You little yapping fool.   You think I want revenge.   I don’t want revenge.   I WANT UNDERSTANDING. “

Staged at Fort Lewis College’s Gallery Theatre

“ Oleanna is simple, yet subtle, deeply moving, and ultimately terrifying. . . Mona Wood-Patterson, Charles Ford, and Amy Fitts have combined their considerable talents and created a major theatrical event for Durango audiences.   More than a good show, Oleanna is a dramatic experience.   See it, and you’ll begin to understand what the Greek dramatists meant by catharsis.”   – Charlie Langdon, The Durango Herald
