Feb 28, 2017MICHAEL TAGGART MALONEY rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
A low-key Mamet masterpiece. In THE WINSLOW BOY Mamet reworks the 1946 Terrence Rattigan play of the same name. It is a celebration of the civilization of Edwardian England -- its rich language, its parliamentary politics, its suffragette movement, its legal system, its fine sensibilities. One wouldn't imagine Mamet to be dewy-eyed about the zenith of the British Empire, but here it is for all to see. (I am afraid that there is something of this sentimentality in all of us who are native-born English speakers.)
