Minus Piven, Speed the Plow Moves Forward

Best review ever of the non-Jeremy Piven edition of Speed the Plow on Broadway.

Is it too late to send a thank you note to Jeremy Piven? This indisputably talented actor has been heaped with scorn and ridicule since he ducked out early (in December) on his contract for the Broadway revival of David Mamet’s “Speed-the-Plow.” While the show’s producers have filed a grievance against Mr. Piven with the Actors Equity Association, I — in the forgiving spirit of a new American era — would like to point out the blessings that have arrived with his departure. – from Nytimes
