David Mamet likes to yell. Duh.

David Mamet is great, isn’t he? I’ve read his book True and False several times and it’s just great. You should give it a read if you haven’t had the opportunity.
Anyway, in her upcoming memoir, “Take Your Shirt Off and Cry,” actress-playwright Nancy Balbirer writes how the playwright went nuts when his students spoke too quietly.
” ‘Get the [bleep] off my stage! Now,’ he’d bellow . . . ‘And,’ he’d continue, his short, burly body bouncing around like a school-yard bully in need of his daily Ritalin, ‘Don’t [bleep]ing come back until we can hear you. How dare you? You’re whispering. On the stage. It’s [bleep]ing passive-aggressive. You know, only people who are full of [bleep] whisper,’ ” Balbirer writes.
