David Mamet investigates human relationship in the tripartite position of power, knowledge and language in Oleanna. He shows the impossibility of true human relationship in the contemporary society by checking how language intervenes in the practice of power and knowledge. Mamet presents the minimal theatre in terms of character, stage property, setting, and theatrical through-line with every intention to let the audience meet the actions on stage directly without the mediation of theatrical decoration and devices. He reveals how the substantial power is supported and subverted by the manipulative power of language in Oleanna. He insists that language is the central substance in drama in terms that the playwright presents every information of the characters in the dramatic world effectively and substantially through linguistic discourse. He even argues that language is an action in his drama. That is why further discussions over the role and function of language in Mamet’s plays are still important.
