Cast announced for Glengarry Glen Ross

Two of the city’s best-known actors, Library Theatre regulars David Fleeshman and James Quinn, will be appearing in the theatre’s forthcoming production of Glengarry Glen Ross. Sure to be one of the theatre’s stand-out productions this season, David Mamet’s brilliant tale of a group of desperate real estate salesmen in Chicago opens on Friday 12 March and runs until Saturday 3 April.

David Fleeshman heads the cast as washed-out salesman Shelley Levene; while James Quinn plays George Aaronow, whose selling skills are not quite what they once were. Another regular on the Library Theatre stage, Leigh Symonds, who appeared in the theatre’s highly successful production of Alan Ayckbourn’s Private Fears in Public Places (September 2006) and the acclaimed production of Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (February 2007), takes the role of James Lingk, whose purchase of a piece of prime Florida real estate turns out to be not the banker deal he imagined it would be.

The remaining members of the cast are Nick Moss, who plays Baylen, a suspicious detective; John McAndrew, who plays salesman Dave Moss; Paul Barnhill, who plays office manager John Williamson; and Richard Dormer, whose portrayal of snooker ace Alex Higgins in the one-man show Hurricane was nominated for a Best Visiting Production award at the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards in 2004, who plays Richard Roma, the best real estate salesman in Chicago.
