He's an animal of instinct; ferocious, hungry, driven by the kill. He's an endangered species and he's going down fighting. He is ... The Property Salesman. Glengarry Glen Ross is the tale of four real estate salesmen in a cut-throat sales competition. Men who will do anything to win. The play shows the extremes that individuals are driven to by the necessity to compete in a system which holds no rewards for second best.
This is a play that The Nonentities have been wanting to present for many years and we hope that you will enjoy this strongly written, Pulitzer prize winning play. It provides strong acting roles for company members and a directorial challenge to bring the energy and vibrancy of the dialogue to life. We hope that you will enjoy this production as much as the cast are looking forward to working on it. This will not be an evening of 'easy' theatre, but one which should keep its audience gripped and absorbed.
