The Voysey Inheritance
New York Times: "OFFHAND it would be hard to think of a theatrical pairing less likely than David Mamet, the tough-talking hard guy, and Harley Granville Barker, an Edwardian playwright, director and matinee idol whose work, though daring in its time, is seldom put on anymore without a whiff of musty drawing room and mothballed frock coat.
