ReceptionThe New York production of the play was not well-received by critics.[3] Writing in his New York Times review of 2 December 2012, Ben Brantley wrote: "Mr. Mamet has always been preoccupied with words both as power tools and as camouflage. That’s true whether the language is lowdown (as in 'Glengarry' and 'American Buffalo') or high-flown (as in 'Oleanna'). This has often involved a certain verbal self-consciousness among his characters. But it has never been as acute as in 'The Anarchist,' in which both women are especially aware of words as instruments of misdirection and what Cathy calls the opacity of human motives. Theatergoers must really furrow their brows here just to follow the basic arguments, never mind the layers of motivation woven into them. And without giving away too much, I think it’s fair to reveal 'Anarchist' basically concludes that all those polysyllabic words mean nothing, when you come right down to it. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. When you reach the end of 'Anarchist,' you may feel you’ve traveled an unnecessarily winding road to get there." Having officially opened on Sunday 2 December 2012, producers posted closing notices the following Wednesday and cut the run short on 16 December, after only 23 previews and 17 performances.[4] The play opened in Madrid at the same time[5] to positive reviews.[6] La anarquista was directed by José Pascual with Magüi Mira as Cathy (the anarchist) and Ana Wagener as Ann (the prison officer).[5] The play had a 2015 production in Los Angeles, directed by Marja-Lewis Ryan with Felicity Huffman and Rebecca Pidgeon.[7][8] The play had its Ohio premiere on July 1 and 2, 2017, at the Van Fleet Theatre in Columbus.[9] It was produced by Stage Right Theatrics, the country's only conservative theatre organization, and was chosen because of Mamet's much publicized conversion to conservatism in 2008.[10] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Lahr|first1=John|title=Rough Justice|url=http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/12/10/rough-justice|accessdate=29 July 2015|publisher=The New Yorker|date=10 December 2012}} {{David Mamet}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Anarchist}}{{2010s-play-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Brantley|first1=Ben|title=War of Wills, Vocabularies and Virtues|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/03/theater/reviews/david-mamets-anarchist-at-the-golden-theater.html|accessdate=29 July 2015|publisher=New York Times|date=2 December 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Trueman|title=David Mamet's The Anarchist bombs on Broadway|url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2012/dec/05/david-mamet-anarchist-broadway|accessdate=29 July 2015|publisher=The Guardian|date=5 December 2012}} 4. ^https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2012/dec/05/david-mamet-anarchist-broadway 5. ^1 http://teatroespanol.es/descargas/dossier_la_anarquista%5B2%5D.pdf 6. ^http://cultura.elpais.com/cultura/2013/01/14/actualidad/1358180341_938232.html 7. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Nichols|first1=David|title='Anarchist's' artful words don't make satisfying drama|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-review-the-anarchist-at-theatre-asylum-20150428-story.html|accessdate=29 July 2015|publisher=LA Times|date=30 April 2015}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Ng|first1=David|title='The Anarchist' by David Mamet coming to L.A. with Felicity Huffman|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-anarchist-david-mamet-felicity-huffman-rebecca-pidgeon-20150309-story.html|accessdate=29 July 2015|publisher=Los Angeles Times|date=9 March 2015}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/ColumbusDispatch/Default.aspx|title=The Anarchist|last=Grossberg|first=Michael|date=29 June 2017|work=The Columbus Dispatch: Weekender|access-date=3 July 2017|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.villagevoice.com/2008/03/11/david-mamet-why-i-am-no-longer-a-brain-dead-liberal/|title=David Mamet: Why I am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal.'|last=Mamet|first=David|date=11 March 2008|website=The Village Voice|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=3 July 2017}} 3 : 2012 plays|Plays by David Mamet|Two-handers |
