Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Best Play in 1978, The Gin Game is the story of Weller and Fonsia, two feisty senior citizens living in a run-down nursing home. When self-proclaimed 'card sharp' Weller invites Fonsia to join his regular game of Gin Rummy, little does he realise his winning streak is about to come to an end - in more ways than one.
Starring husband-and-wife team Julia Blake (AFI Award-winner for the film Innocence along with long-running roles in Prisoner, Sea Change and Blue Heelers) and Terry Norris (Logie Award-winner for Cop Shop as well as starring roles in Changi, Stingers and Something in the Air), The Gin Game is a black comedy-drama about coping with the hand you've been dealt - both in life and at cards.
