Oleanna tickets are available for a play by David Mamet that questions power and political correctness. Mamet tells the story of a professor, John, and a student, Carol, and the power struggle that ensues in the professor's office in the hours after class at a university.
The play begins with Carol coming into John's office unexpectedly as he is distracted, speaking with his wife about a house they are trying to purchase. He is on the verge of being granted tenure and is making moves now that he finally has some security in his professional life. Carol is concerned about her grades and comes to the professor for help.
Oleanna immediately begins to take an interesting turn as the student laments her troubles and her background while failing to conceptualize the professor's lecture. He sympathizes, but finds himself unable to help. Eventually he breaks down and begins to provide his theories on education, on success, and on the problems with the current system of higher learning.
Carol's concerns are not sufficiently addressed and is confused by the meeting, including one instance where she attempts to physically retreat because of her dismay and the professor uses his strength to set her down to try and calm those fears and that hysteria.
In the final act of Oleanna, John is in his office afraid to go home as Carol has brought charges of sexual harassment and allegations of attempted rape, postponing his tenure and resulting in his loss of the down payment he has put down on a house. Carol returns to the office and tries to blackmail him, offering to drop the charges if he signs a written statement that would also ban his book.
Show Biography - Oleanna
Oleanna is a story written at the height of the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings. It's dialogue is terse and its situations are awkward and uncomfortable, leaving the meanings of both the spoken words and the physical actions up to the audience. Mamet attempts to not only explore the power structure between teacher and student, but between the sexes and to explore the effect political harassment has on that relationship and struggle.
The play debuted in 1992, selling the first Oleanna tickets for a production in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The play went to play Off-Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre and crossed the Atlantic with a new production did begin in London. Eventually people would purchase tickets for a movie version where William H. Macy reprised his role as John and Mamet' wife, Rebecca Pidgeon.
Oleanna has seen its share of productions since, including one in 2004 that starred Aaron Eckhart and Julia Stiles. It is set to debut on Broadway in October 2009, with Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles. The play will be at the John Golden Theatre, transferring from the Mark Taper Forum at the Los Angeles Music Center. Oleanna will begin selling tickets for a preview run set to begin on September 29, leading up to the official opening night on October 11.
