STAGE TUBE: James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson Enjoy THE GIN GAME Photoshoot

Talent like that never gets old.

Broadway royalty James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson are obviously enjoying themselves posing for pics to promote their upcoming stint in D.L. Coburn's Pulitzer-winner, THE GIN GAME.

Though the pair they'll be playing on stage are residents of a nursing home, this was the time to get glammed up for the camera.

THE GIN GAME will begin previews on September 23rd and open October 14th.

Winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, THE GIN GAME returns to the Golden Theatre where the original production opened in 1977, starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Since its premiere, the play has also been staged across the United States and all over the world. THE GIN GAME has also been filmed twice for television; in 1981 with original stars Cronyn and Tandy, and in 2003 with Dick van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore.

Weller Martin (James Earl Jones) and Fonsia Dorsey (Cicely Tyson) meet on the porch of their nursing home and strike up a friendship, with Weller teaching Fonsia how to play gin rummy. As they play, they share stories about the lives they led in the outside world. But when Fonsia wins every hand, Weller becomes increasingly frustrated, until their gin games and conversations become a battleground, with each player exposing the other's failures, disappointments and insecurities.

The production will be directed by Leonard Foglia and feature set and costume design by Riccardo Hernandez, lighting design by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer and sound design by David Van Tieghem.
