Glengarry Glen Ross: All female staging feels compellingly new and strange

Then, boom, on comes Salazar’s Roma, blasting away the defences of Lingk (Mercedes Bahleda) with his rat-a-tat hustle. At first it feels like an aggressive, woman-on-woman pickup schmooze, then a gay male flirtation, before it’s revealed as a sales pitch. Powered by Salazar’s fiery-eyed charisma, this scene is a distillation of the layered dynamics of Marber’s production. Eventually, all of them collect in the ransacked office under the gaze of an exasperated cop (Florence Odumoso).
