David Mamet’s provocative drama, Oleanna, delves into the complexities of power dynamics and the potential for abuse. When a young ambitious student Carol (Malika Savory) seeks help from her professor John, (Greg Scurr), their relationship quickly escalates into a battle of wills with devastating consequences.

Set in John’s office, we witness three meetings, each one inviting us to question and re-evaluate what we have already seen, as well as our preconceived ideas. Themes of sexual harassment, gender roles, and abuse of authority are explored through Mamet’s morally ambiguous characters and authentic dialogue.

Political correctness gone mad or abuse of power? Come and decide for yourself!
