Glengarry me.

In two days I'm going to see a performance of Glengarry Glen Ross. This play, written by David Mamet, is about four Chicago real estate agents and their struggles to sale prospective buyers land. If they don't sale enough to make top prize in a company contest, they lose their jobs. There is a twist to the story that causes an uproar over stolen property of the agency that develops into dramatic realization on life and why they give up so much for so little. One of my favorite scenes is the leadership speech given by the top salesman. A visitor to the agency from "downtown" sent to put some fire in the sales team by way of threats. This scene was not written in the play, but was put in for the movie released in 1992. The actor playing the part is Alec Baldwin, and boy is his performance amazing. I'll play that scene later. But first, let me play the scene performed by some unlikely actors. First is a small boy: I'm a big fan of Brandon Hardesty. He has made it an art to re-enact famous scenes from movies. Brandon is quite the talent, and his doesn't disappoint with the Glengarry scene. And, the master... I don't know if this scene was put in the play after the movie, but I'll know later this week. Follow-up to come.
