'Re-issue of Mamet''s ground-breaking and controversial play on the male-female power struggle.
''An ear for reproducing everyday language has long been David Mamet''s hallmark and he has now employed it to skewer the dogmatic, puritanical streak which has become commonplace on and off the campus. With Oleanna he continues an exploration of male-female conflicts begun with Sexual Perversity in Chicago in 1974. Oleanna cogently demonstrates that when free thought and dialogue are imperilled, nobody wins.'' (Michael Wise, Independent)
''In Oleanna John and Carol go to it with hand-to hand combat that amounts to a primal struggle for power. As usual with Mamet, the vehicle for that combat is crackling, highly distilled dialogue unencumbered by literary frills or phoney theatrical ones.'' (Frank Rich, International Herald Tribune)'
