In life as in cards, we play the hand we’re dealt, and there are winners and losers. What begins as a friendly game of Gin Rummy on the porch of the Bentley Nursing Home, escalates into all-out war as Fonsia blithely beats Weller again and again . . . and again. With every card they flip, stakes and emotions rise. This powerful and darkly funny Pulitzer Prize-winning play is one you’ll go all in on.
