November's December Comes In July

November's December Comes In July

According to Playbill, David Mamet's election year comedy November will close on July 13 after playing 205 performances.

For well over a month, the production has been advertising "final weeks" to catch its president, played by Nathan Lane, and despite the lone Tony nomination for the excellent Laurie Metcalf, the rest of the mounting was shut out of consideration.

Directed by Joe Mantello, November wasn't half bad in my humble estimation. In fact, it had some very funny moments. As I said earlier, "While not a perfect send-up of politics, November certainly strikes a chord with those weary with the current state of the union, making me glad I elected to see it."
