Last Chance To See American Buffalo Starring Damian Lewis, John Goodman and Tom Sturridge!

Posted on 1 June 2015

A hit with critics and public alike, Damian Lewis, John Goodman and Tom Sturridge star in the major new revival of David Mamet’s gripping 1975 play American Buffalo at Wyndham's Theatre which must end on 27 June 2015.

Winning the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for best play, David Mamet’s explosive drama examines the fickle nature of honour among thieves. As three small-time crooks, Walter “Teach” Cole (Damian Lewis), Don Dubrow (John Goodman) and Bob (Tom Sturridge), plan one big-time heist, a tragedy of errors spins this razor-sharp and darkly funny play into a blistering account of divided loyalties, insatiable greed and a coveted Buffalo nickel.
 
Considered a classic of the American canon and recognised as one of Mamet’s masterpieces, American Buffalo premiered at the Goodman Theatre, Chicago and opened on Broadway on 16 February 1977. The play was also adapted into a 1996 film starring Dustin Hoffman (Teach), Dennis Franz (Don), and Sean Nelson (Bob).
 
American Buffalo is produced in the West End by Matthew Byam Shaw, Nia Janis and Nick Salmon for Playful Productions, Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, Steve Traxler, Will Trice, Tulchin Bartner Productions and Georgia Gatti.
