PLAY SYNOPSIS:
The Gin Game is a two-act, four-scene play about a woman in her twilight years, Fonsia Dorsey, who enters a "home for the aged" and is for a while saved from melancholy by the crusty charm of Weller Martin. The sardonic Weller cajoles Fonsia into playing a series of gin games on the home's sunlit porch. As they seemingly become close companions, much is revealed about their respective regret-filled lives -- to the steady shuffling and playing of cards. Their mutual need for solace is momentarily satisfied, until Weller's pent-up rage, and Fonsia's subtle needling, build to a confrontation.
"The Gin Game" opened on Broadway to rave reviews. It starred Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, and garnered four Tony Award nominations: Best Play, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director. The Gin Game ran on Broadway for 516 performances and subsequently toured the nation (with Cronyn and Tandy) to sold-out houses in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and a half dozen other cities before touring in England and Russia. The play has since had productions in virtually every country of the western world, including France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Romania, Israel, Hungary, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and South Africa, as well as heralded productions in Australia, Japan and China. In 1978 the play garnered four Tony nominations and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
