Sexual Perversity in Chicago
- Sexual Perversity in Chicago
"Sexual Perversity in Chicago" is a one-act play by David Mamet. It examines the lives of two men and two women in the dating pool in Chicago.
First produced by the Organic Theater Company in Chicago in June 1974, it was directed by Stuart Gordon, the company's founder and Artistic Director. The cast included Warren Casey.
In December of 1975, the play was mounted off-off Broadway at the St. Clements Theatre in New York City.
An off-Broadway production directed by Albert Takazauckas opened on a double bill with the playwright's "The Duck Variations" on June 16, 1976 at the Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village and ran for 273 performances. The cast included F. Murray Abraham and Peter Riegert. In 1986, it was adapted for the screen as "About Last Night..." with Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, and Jim Belushi. The title change resulted from many newspapers refusing to advertise a movie with the original title. Mamet disavowed the movie, ruefully recalling that "as a callow youth with hay sticking out of my ears, I sold both the play and the screenplay for about $12 and a mess of porridge...." [cite web
