The Gin Game
Original title: Игра в джин
Overview
The action of the play takes place in the USA, in a nursing home. In Bentley House, or the 'house of death,' as it is called by the people, fate brings together a wealthy businessman and a female manager. Each has their own life, their own drama behind them. Family, children, home, work, successes – all in the past. Everything starts quite decently. He suggests they have some fun – play cards, teaching her the card game gin, while cynically discussing his surroundings, calling it 'a dump of bodies not quite ready for the cemetery.' The lady proves to be a quick learner and unexpectedly wins. He, torn between two conflicting feelings (sympathy for this woman and the passion of a gambler), and she, seeking a cure for her loneliness in their meetings. Both need communication with each other, but for him, the main goal becomes winning at cards against this woman. And perhaps, winning against life itself...
