Story
In Recessional, he calls out, skewers, mocks, and, most importantly, dissects the virus of conformity which is now an existential threat to the West. A broad-ranging journey through history, the Bible, and literature, Recessional examines how politics and cultural attitudes about rebellion have shifted in the United States in the last generation. By screaming down freedom of thought and expression, Mamet explains, we kill invention and democracy—the foundations of security and growth.

Amazing production and sound design
The acting is superb and all comes out via the dialogue... never wished I could “see” the play instead.
Additionally the sound design is really great... you hear anything that’s absolutely pertinent to the story.

The whole production is great, but I dare say Stamberg's Teach is the best I ever heard, far better than Hoffman's. An absolute must for David Mamet's fans, and first time listener alike.
