Stiles Brings Mamet's Explosive <cite>Oleanna</cite> to Broadway, by John Simon
David Mamet wrote <cite>Oleanna</cite> in 1992, when the country was in the throes of the Clarence Thomas–Anita Hill controversy, which he transposed into academia. An Off-Broadway hit back then, the play now makes its Broadway debut in a revival starring Julia Stiles and Bill Pullman that has lost none of its power to provoke.
