Would this movie work as a play?


This is Mamet's first time directing, and he wrote the screenplay as well. Seeing that most of the 'action' are just people playing pokers, doing short cons and talking, would this work as a play?

Seeing as it was actually written as a play and performed as such before it was filmed, I'd say the answer has to be yes.
