The Shawl - 1989 - 6/10

An exploratory interview. Miss A consults psychic John for advice.
She is careful, knowing that there is a strong chance he is a charlatan.
Next scene, glibly boasting to his protégé / lover, Charles, we realize he is a money seeking fraud.
Female intuition notwithstanding, the séance is arranged.

David Mamet chamber play of mystery and deception.
Multiple deceptions, since, human nature being as it is, lies are common.
Unlike many Mamet plays, the language is fairly clean.
