Lindsay Posner directs Richard Bean's new stage version of David Mamet's film, House of Games previewing from 9 September and running until 6 November, with press night on 16 September. Designs are by Peter McKintosh with lighting by Paul Pyant and music by Django Bates. House of Games is sponsored by Aspen.
The cast is Nancy Carroll (Dr Margaret Ford), Trevor Cooper (George), Dermot Crowley (Joey), Amanda Drew (Trudi/Carla), Peter De Jersey (PJ), Michael Landes (Mike), John Marquez (Bobby) and Al Weaver (Billy Hahn).Harvard-educated psychoanalyst Margaret Ford is celebrated for her bestselling book 'Driven! 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.LISTINGS INFORMATIONACCESS 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
