David Mamet’s cracking drama about the trustworthiness of estate agents won him a Pulitzer Prize, and rightly so. Dense and sharp, the dialogue explores the desperation that drives a group of fast-talking Chicago salesmen as they connive to flog undesirable real estate.

Citizens Theatre, Glasgow
In 2003, 23-year-old American Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in the Gaza strip while supporting a non-violent resistance to Israeli military occupation.
