Gin Game

The Gin Game deftly mixes comedy and tragedy as an elderly man and woman play gin rummy on the porch of a home for the aged. As the author has observed: "The tragicomedy of The Gin Game reminds me of the words Flaubert wrote to his mistress: We laugh with pity at the vanity of the human will... When the play originated in my mind, I saw certain conflicts that I wanted to capture, and I felt that the simplicity of two people and a card game could express a great deal. The card game is a metaphor for fate and how the events of life are dealt to us. We have to play them as they come our way."
