The Gin Game
By D.L. Coburn
Starring Arliss Howard and Debra Winger
Directed by David Blum

About: Starring Debra Winger (Terms Of Endearment) and Arliss Howard (Full Metal Jacket) and directed by David Blum, this rare New York revival transforms Housing Works Bookstore into an intimate theater where audiences sit just feet away from the action, and makes D.L. Coburn’s classic feel more urgent and powerful than ever. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, The Gin Game is by turns funny and heartbreaking – the story of two nursing-home residents whose rounds of gin rummy evolve into a fiercely-fought battle of pride and self-preservation. As Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey confront the disappointments, regrets, and carefully guarded illusions of old age, what begins as companionship turns into one of the most riveting duels in modern American theater.
