David is a young poet who improvises poems for money in the park – being behind in his rent, he becomes a nightwatchman and is robbed by thieves who talk him into joining them. Later getting into trouble and ending up in jail, an ad executive (who’s heard of David’s poems) offers him a job writing promotional material for a (noxious) car sanitizer. Faced with the dilemma of writing what he loves or writing for what he needs, David must make his choice – will he forgo the poet in him forever?

An energetic, farcical adventure with colourful, larger-than-life characters and plenty of pie-throwing, The Poet and the Rent is Mamet’s hilarious treat for children, teens and adults alike.
