Anna and Claire are two bantering, scheming "women of fashion" who have long lived together on the fringes of upper-class society. Anna has just become the mistress of a wealthy man, from whom she has received an enormous emerald and an income to match. Claire, meanwhile, is infatuated with a respectable young lady and wants to enlist the jealous Anna's help for an assignation. As the two women exchange barbs and take turns taunting the maid, Claire's young inamorata appears, setting off a crisis that puts both the emerald and the women's futures at risk. To this wickedly funny comedy, Mamet brings his trademark tart dialogue and impeccable plotting, spiced with Wildean wit.

"Devastatingly funny... exceptionally clever... demonstrates anew [Mamet's] technical virtuosity and flexibility." -NY Times

Age recommendation: 16+ Contains adult situations.
