The Gin Game

Francis J. Gaudette Theatre
303 Front Street North Issaquah

Winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and nominated for four Tony Awards, The Gin Game symbolizes life in the form of a card game. D.L. Coburn's sharp-witted dramedy follows two lonely nursing home residents who strike up an acquaintance and begin to play gin rummy. As the game progresses and one player goes on a winning streak, intimate secrets of their lives are revealed and they begin to search for each other's weaknesses in both the game and life itself. See the play the New York Times called "the closest thing the theatre offers to a duel at 10 paces" at the Village Theatre in Issaquah.
