This 1978 Pulitzer Prize–winning dramatic comedy by Donald L. Colburn uses the game of gin as a metaphor for life. The witty two-character play follows Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey, residents of a shabby nursing home, as they reflect on their long lives. Like gin rummy, life is shaped by the luck of the draw, the way people respond to adversity, and how they play the hand they are given.
