"Boston Marriage" (MTC)

Mamet's version of a drawing-room comedy, "Boston Marriage" is on the light side but clever, and entertaining enough, buoyed by good performances from Pamela Rabe, Margaret Mills and Sara Gleeson (the last particularly enjoyable as the perky maid Catherine), a sharp edge (though more cutting would have been better) and a pleasing vulgarity in moments. A slyly happy ending, too!
