NEW YORK—A cornered foe, particularly an elderly one, can be quite dangerous, especially when all he wants is to be left alone. David Mamet brilliantly taps into this scenario in his insightful and quite relevant play “China Doll,” starring Al Pacino at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Broadway.
Mickey Ross (Pacino) is an aging billionaire power broker. A well-known public figure, he’s had his hands in a number of political deals and elections throughout the years. Now in the twilight of life, he’s looking forward to retirement with his much younger fiancée.
Al Pacino plays Ross as an aging warrior.
