An all-female cast cheat, fight and steal

The Old Vic has announced the full, all-female cast for Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Glengarry Glen Ross, directed by Tony Award winner Patrick Marber, and written by David Mamet. Starring Rosa Salazar as Roma and Olivier Award-winning actress Indira Varma as Levene, Mercedes Bahleda as Lingk, Nancy Crane as Aaronow, Dorothea Myer-Bennett as Williamson, Florence Odumosu as Baylen and Niky Wardley as Moss.

But what should I tell them?’

‘The truth, George. Always tell the truth. It’s the easiest thing to remember.’

A fly-by-night office in Chicago. A brutal sales competition:

Top dog wins a Cadillac. Second wins a set of steak knives. Third and fourth get fired.

Four real estate agents cheat, fight and steal to come out on top — but can any of them win?

One of the most influential and thrilling dramatic comedies of the late 20th century, David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Glengarry Glen Ross had its world premiere at the National Theatre in 1983 and was later adapted for the screen in 1992. The play was last revived by director Patrick Marber on Broadway in 2025, with producers granting the play a two-week extension due to high demand.

Director Patrick Marber said, ‘Around this time last year I had the good fortune to be directing Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway. It’s a heck of a play to work on; hilarious, profound, obscene – a thrilling story with twists that make an audience gasp. It was written in the 1980s but it seems to me to be about our world right now. I’m very excited to be doing it again, this time as a premiere with an all-female cast. And I am honoured to be making my directing debut at the famous Old Vic with Mamet’s mighty play.’

In Artistic Director Matthew Warchus’ final season all productions will take place completely In The Round, forming an intimate seating configuration that surrounds the stage. 

Glengarry Glen Ross is at The Old Vic from 04 Jun–18 Jul 2026.
