Oleanna is a two-character play by David Mamet about the power struggle between a university professor and one of his female students who accuses him of sexual exploitation and by doing so spoils his chances of being accorded tenure. The play’s title taken from a folk song refers to a 19th-century escapist vision of utopia. Mamet later adapted his play into a film of the same name.
