Choose options
D.L. Coburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece 'The Gin Game' received a spectacular, historically monumental Broadway revival at the John Golden Theatre in 2015, turning a sterile nursing home porch into a high-stakes dramatic battlefield. The textually rich psychological thriller tracks Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey, two lonely, elderly residents who strike up a casual friendship over a series of competitive card games, collapsing into an emotionally savage crucible of verbal warfare as each hand unpeels their lifelong failures, secrets, and resentments. Directed by Leonard Foglia, the star-powered Roundabout Theatre Company production starred James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson.
