The play was directed by Joe Mantello and starred Nathan Lane, Laurie Metcalf, Ethan Phillips, Michael Nichols and Dylan Baker.[2][3] Metcalf received a Tony Award nomination as Best Featured Actress in a Play. The New England premiere took place at the Lyric Stage Company of Boston in October 2008, directed by Daniel Gidron.[4] It premiered at Houston's Alley Theatre in August 2012, directed by Sanford Robbins.[5] OverviewBilled as a comedy, November centers on President Charles Smith (originally played by Nathan Lane) several days before his second election. Metcalf played Clarice Bernstein, Smith's speechwriter, and Baker played Archer Brown, Smith's advisor. Phillips portrayed The Turkey Representative, and Nichols portrays Indian Chief Dwight Grackle. Critical receptionThe play received mixed reviews.[6] Ben Brantley in The New York Times wrote that it is a "glib and jaunty new play", and that "Mr. Lane, it goes without saying, knows exactly how to pitch such lines, with a time-honed style that allows him to put the maximum spin on poisonous zingers and still keep the audience on his side."[7] References1. ^{{cite news |first=Campbell |last=Robertson |title=Mamet to Return to Theater of Politics |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/10/theater/10mame.html |work=New York Times |date=2007-05-10 }} 2. ^{{cite news |first=Ernio |last=Hernandez |title=Election Day: Lane Is U.S. President in Mamet's November on Broadway |url=http://www.playbill.com/news/article/113675.html |work=Playbill |date=2007-12-20 }} 3. ^"'November' Broadway Productiion" {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151225221957/http://www.playbillvault.com/Show/Detail/4290/November |date=2015-12-25 }} playbillvault.com, accessed October 24, 2015 4. ^Giuliano, Charles.
