{"product_id":"9780375706646","title":"The Spanish Prisoner and the Winslow Boy: Two Screenplays","description":"\u003cp\u003ePulitzer Prize winner David Mamet ranks among the century's most influential writers for stage and screen. His dialogue—abrasive, rhythmic—illuminates a modern aesthetic evocative of Samuel Beckett. His plots—surprising, comic, topical—have evoked comparisons to masters from Alfred Hitchcock to Arthur Miller. Here are two screenplays demonstrating the astounding range of Mamet's talents. \u003cbr\u003e      \u003ci\u003e  The Spanish Prisoner\u003c\/i\u003e, a neo-noir thriller about a research-and-development cog hoodwinked out of his own brilliant discovery, demonstrates Mamet's incomparable use of character in a dizzying tale of twists and mistaken identity. \u003ci\u003eThe Winslow Boy\u003c\/i\u003e, Mamet's revisitation of Terence Rattigan's  classic 1946 play, tells of a thirteen-year-old boy accused of stealing a five-shilling postal order and the tug of war for truth that ensues between his middle-class family and the Royal Navy. Crackling with wit, intelligent and surprising,\u003ci\u003e The Spanish Prisoner\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Winslow Boy\u003c\/i\u003e celebrate Mamet's unique genius and our eternal fascination with the extraordinary predicaments of the common man.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020586959088,"sku":"9780375706646","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780375706646_p0.jpg?v=1763692315","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780375706646","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
