Oleanna

New Stagers, the award-winning amateur drama group based in SW London for over 40 years, stages its first-ever production at Wandsworth Museum.

David Mamet’s masterpiece “Oleanna” was first performed in New York in 1992, and has since been made into a film and become established as a modern classic.
John, a college professor awaiting confirmation of his tenure, is suddenly accused of sexual harassment by his student Carol. The play depicts the power struggle between the two of them as their dispute becomes more and more bitter, with more and more at stake.

The premiere of the play provoked arguments and even fights in the Orpheum theatre foyer. It’s a scathing satire on political correctness, but also an attack on casual sexism. It challenges the audience to take sides, then challenges the sides the audience takes. It’s the most controversial, thought-provoking and powerful piece of drama from the foremost living American dramatist.

New Stagers and Wandsworth Museum are proud to be working in this cultural partnership to bring this extraordinary work of theatre to the community.
