My thesis is an investigation of David Mamet’s acting technique; Practical Aesthetics. My main premise is that academics, critics, practitioners and Mamet himself have failed to correctly locate Practical Aesthetics in the history of acting: Mamet requires the actor approach acting in Sartrean good faith; I conclude that the result of practicing the technique results in an orthodox aesthetic logic of good faith.
