Original 1988 Playbill for the Lincoln Center Theater production of David Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow at New York’s Royale Theatre, 5.5 x 8.5, 70 pages, signed on the front cover in black felt tip by Madonna, who made her Broadway debut in the production. The title page bills Joe Mantegna, Ron Silver, and Madonna, under the direction of Gregory Mosher. In fine condition, with light soiling and spotting.
Mamet’s Hollywood satire ran at the Royale from May 3 to December 31, 1988, originally starring Madonna opposite Mantegna and Silver. Madonna played Karen, a temporary secretary caught between two film producers. Looking back in a 1989 Rolling Stone interview, she described the run as grueling: night after night she played a character unlike herself, the play’s scapegoat, and toward the end of her engagement she was crossing days off the calendar. Still, she summed up her feelings as ‘I hated to love it, and I loved to hate it.’
