| Description | The Gin Game explores the battle of wits that erupts over an innocent card game between retirement home residents Fonsia and Weller. The card game can be seen as a metaphor for their lives . Fonsia is luckier at cards than she has been in life and Weller has always had the cards stacked against him. The play takes a scathingly funny look at growing old in a society in which age is not respected. | |||||||||||||
