Glengarry Glen Ross, David Mamet's drama of tough-talking salesmen trying to grab their due of the American Dream, will be revived at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre Jan. 4-Feb. 4 on the Geary stage. Opening night is set for Jan. 10.

The 1984 Pulitzer Prize winner, Glengarry Glen Ross pits several salesman from the hot shot who makes all the big sales to the old man just trying to make ends meet in battle against and with one another for hot "leads," the suckers who will buy their often shady properties and make their commissions rise. Glengarry Glen Ross was made into a 1992 film starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon and Kevin Spacey. Other Mamet plays include American Buffalo, Sexual Perversity in Chicago, Speed-the-Plow, Oleanna and the films, "The Untouchables," "House of Games," "The Winslow Boy" and "State and Main."

Britain's Les Waters directs. His credits include Charles Mee, Jr.'s Big Love at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, Christopher Durang's Medea Amok at Ameircan Repertory Theatre, Wallace Shawn's The Designated Mourner at the Steppenwolf Theatre and Rebecca Gilman's Spinning Into Butter at the Goodman Theatre.

Playing his salesmen are Tony Amendola (Shelly Levene), John Apicella (Dave Moss), Marco Barricelli (Richard Roma), James Carpenter (James Lingk), Rod Gnapp (John Williamson) , Matt Gottlieb (George Aaronow) and Brian Keith Russell (Baylen).
