Busy local director John P. Kelly returns to the Gladstone Theatre with his third play in as many months (after the recent success of Fly Me to the Moon at the GCTC and Stones in His Pockets at the Gladstone in September). This time SevenThirty Productions is bringing you David Mamet’s November - a timely and humorous look at the U.S. electoral process, heavy on satire.
Watch a preview scene and hear Todd Duckworth and Steve Martin talk about November.

November means election time in the US, and the incumbent president’s chances are looking grim—but he won’t go down without the fight of his life! In no-holds barred style, November is a scathingly hilarious take on the state of America and the lengths to which people go to win. Time to pardon a turkey and change the national dish to tuna! “Maniacally funny” said the Press! We’d also say “for adults only” due to Mr. Mamet’s style!
David Mamet’s November runs at The Gladstone from November 22 to December 8th and is directed by John P. Kelly. It features Todd Duckworth (as The President), Steve Martin, Chantale Plante, Tom Charlebois and Brian Sinclair.
Tickets are $39, with discounts for seniors and students. They can be purchased online at The Gladstone’s website, by calling 613-233-4523, emailing gladstoneboxoffice©gmail•com, or in person at the door at 910 Gladstone Avenue.
