«The Old Neighborhood» is the play by David Mamet, published by Methuen Drama in paperback (80 pages, in English).
Bobby returns to the neighbourhood where he grew up, and the reunion with its people and places makes the past project onto his present. Organised in three interlinked scenes, with a character who appears in all of them, the play offers a personal look at Mamet's recurring themes: memory, identity and the weight of what has been lived.
Originally published in 1998, the play belongs to Methuen Drama's Modern Plays collection.
Recommended for theatre readers and followers of contemporary American drama, especially the work of David Mamet.
