Bobby Gould in Hell
545 7th Street, SE Washington
David Mamet's Bobby Gould in Hell is a fast-talking comic duel of wits. What is hell, and will Bobby spend eternity in it? Bobby Gould, its protagonist, is a recurring Everyman figure in Mamet's work, having appeared in the 1983 one-act, The Disappearance of the Jews, and in Speed-the-Plow of 1988. Bobby Gould in Hell begins as an interrogator enters, determined to get Gould to confess his sins. Gould struggles to argue his case. And a woman Bobby has wronged appears and turns up the heat. This relatively little-known Mamet comedy first appeared at Lincoln Center in 1989.
