China Doll Play by David Mamet (Farsi)

Açıklama

China Doll by David Mamet is a two-act drama about power, wealth, and the collapse of control in a modern world of shifting allegiances. Written for a performance starring Al Pacino, the play follows aging businessman Mickey Ross as he attempts to purchase a private jet and secure a final retreat with his young fiancée. What begins as a routine transaction unravels into a web of legal and political complications, exposing the fragility of influence and the consequences of past decisions. Set largely through telephone conversations and minimal on-stage action, Mamet constructs tension through sharp, fragmented dialogue and the silence between exchanges. The play examines aging, moral compromise, and the illusion of permanence in systems of power, portraying a protagonist confronting the erosion of his authority and identity. Through its sparse structure and psychological intensity, China Doll reflects Mamet’s recurring interest in corruption and human vulnerability within contemporary capitalism.
