Performance at 8:00 pm. A power play by David Mamet. Every story has two sides. When an unconventional professor tries to help a struggling female student who is failing his class, the end result is far beyond what either originally expected in this shocking case of “he said, she said.” What begins as a simple meeting behind closed doors leads to misinterpretations, accusations and a high-stakes struggle for power. This controversial play by David Mamet (creator of THE UNIT and author of GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS) promises to defy expectations and challenge opinions. Who is right; who is wrong? Who is to say in this examination of power, privilege and political correctness? (Please note: This production contains adult language and themes.) Tickets: $10 - $42, depending on seat location. For tickets: Phone: 336-272-0160 or toll-free 866-579-TIXX. Online: www.triadstage.org. In person: Box office at 232 South Elm Street, downtown Greensboro. Hours: 10 am – 6 pm, Monday – Friday and one hour before each performance.
