Meet four Chicago real estate salesman.

Whoever tops this month’s sales chart drives home a gleaming new Cadillac.

The runner-up gets a set of steak knives. The other two get the sack.

Dave Moss is aggressive; the sweet-talking Richard Roma, the best salesman in town, is determined to get his hands on the car keys; Shelly Levene and George Aaronow will do almost anything to get a piece of the action, but with their best selling days behind them, they’re both getting close to desperate.

American playwright David Mamet’s sizzling drama Glengarry Glen Ross is the second Library Theatre Company production of the final season in the theatre’s current home, the historic Central Library in Manchester, before embarking on a three-year journey taking in work in site-specific venues in the city, and three performances a year at the Lowry in Salford, culminating in the company moving to the Theatre Royal, in Peter Street.

Glengarry Glen Ross is at The Library Theatre, Manchester from Friday, March 12 until April 3. Tickets £10.50-£18.
