American Buffalo - The Play

there that night!superb.

Brill ...totally enjoyed

Bravo! Better, by the way, than Hoffman's overly-mannered performance as Teach.

great job

Very good play,in london in 1984 Saw Al Pacino in it.

Tho I’m seeing this six years after the fact, this was the best version I’ve seen. All the actors were great but this is the best version of “Teach” out there

That fella doing Teach is fierce biscuits altogether.

Damn, where did they find these guys?? Evidently, they don't understand Mamet's play. I really don't know who to blame here. The Director or the performance of these actors. Mamet's work is like a fine wine that you MUST let to breathe before drinking instead of taking a shot a whiskey as we see here.

Horrible.

Thanks for putting this on here. Kudos to all involved.

I saw the original production. Robert Duvall's performance as Teach was so so spectacularly riveting that it ruined all subsequent productions, Including two others, both featuring, surprisingly, the woefully inadequate Teach of Al Pacino, a forgettable performance when measured against that of Duvall.
al Pacino, a Pacino

Is there any footage of Duvall as Teach?

Thanks for posting this play in its entirety I saw the Broadway production with Al Pacino January 1984.

why they talk like robots, throwing the replies back and forth like basket ball????
is not natural speech as Mamet teaches to work ones action off the other's actors expressions looking for one cap! .... this is staccato acting like school theatre is... I don't like it!

Excellent 👍

I saw this at a very small theater in Cambridge, MA, (Inman Square) on the eve of the great blizzard of '78. By morning five feet of snow lay on the ground.

This was utterly pointless. I rather enjoyed it.

All right. This was very cool to see an actual theater production of this cool, gritty play. It makes up for not going down to the big apple to see last year's revival with Laurence Fishburne, Sam Rockwell and Darren Criss. The dialogue has a similar cadence and repetition as Mamet's Glengarry Glenross.

Its like each character, each voice is one. Not the intended effect, because it's boring.

Oh. My God. Horrible. I do have to hand it to these guys trying. Very hard to do Mamet.
