SYNOPSIS: drama
“Oleanna, a powerful two-character drama by David Mamet, explores the destructiveness of miscommunication and excessive political correctness. It is a play about academic politics, student/teacher relationships, and sexual harassment." (Quote per Wayne Bradford)
Oleanna is a two-character play about the power struggle between a university professor and one of his female students who accuses him of sexual harassment and by doing so, spoils his chances of being accorded tenure.
