Compulsion and Obsession in Every Day Life'. Helping one of her patients settle his gambling debts, she compromises her professional reputation and is drawn into the seedy underworld of the House of Games poker club. Seduced by charismatic hustler Mike, Margaret convinces herself that she can make an academic study of the con-artist. Before she realises it, Margaret is entangled in a fast-paced thriller.ACCESS PERFORMANCESHouse of GamesCaptioned Performances 16 October at 3pm and 2 November at 7.30pm followed by speech to text TalkbackAudio Described Performance 30 October at 3pm with a Touch Tour at 1.30pm
