American Buffalo was first produced at the Goodman Theatre, Chicago, Illinois, on November 23, 1975. The play went on to open on Broadway in February 1976 and won the 1977 New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best American Play. The original Broadway production starred Robert Duvall as Teach, and other revivals have featured actors Al Pacino and John Leguizamo in the same role. This play is considered to be David Mamet’s most produced play and there is a film version of the same name that was released in 1996.
