Mamet Speak: Difference between revisions

American writer [[David Mamet]] is probably most famous for his distinctive style of writing fast, clever, edgy dialogue. When a playwright wins a Pulitzer Prize, his style does not often go without imitation. Mamet's often-imitated dialogue style is called [['''Mamet Speak]]'''.

* Aaron Sorkin's distinctive dialogue style (as heard in ''[[The West Wing]]'' and ''Studio 60'') is similar, though with less cursing and less of characters talking over each other. And arguably more [[Author Filibuster|Author Filibusters]]s.
