Das Europäische Theater zeigt das 1978 mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnete Theaterstück »The Gin Game«: In einem heruntergekommenen Altersheim flüchten zwei Bewohner am Besuchstag vor dem Menschenandrang. Sie beginnen das Kartenspiel Gin zu spielen, und es entwickelt sich ein Kampf, in dem jeder versucht, die Schwächen des anderen bloßzulegen. Der Europäisches Theater e.

Directed by Nate Records.
With Bobbie Lording & Philippe Jacq
Weller Martin has been reduced to playing Solitaire on the porch of a tired retirement home until Fonsia Dorsey enters his world on a lonely visitors’ day. Weller coaxes her into playing a game of cards, thus reintroducing her to Gin. As the game progresses, Weller and Fonsia share private details of their families, their lives in the outside world, their shared dislike of the Home and how they ended up there. The game quickly becomes a metaphor for their lives and,as each game progresses, tempers flare and their newly-found friendship is tested when a culmination puts them at odds with each other, their pasts and themselves.
