Sexual Perversity in Chicago (1975), a play by David
Mamet. [St. Clements, 273 perf.] The hustling Bernie ( Robert Townsend) is always coaching Danny ( Robert Picardo) about sex and how to use women, but Danny ignores his advice and moves in with Deborah ( Jane Anderson), looking for a meaningful relationship. But the romance falters and soon Danny is back with Bernie, the two of them once again reducing women to sexual objects. After its 1974 premiere in Chicago, Mamet's first success played Off Off Broadway, then transferred to the larger Cherry Lane Theatre, gaining the attention of the critics and public and launching Mamet's career.
