Eric House, as Weller Martin, explains the fundamentals of gin Dummy to Libby Morris, as
Fonsia Dorsey, in Huron Country Playhouse's production of the comedy hit, THE GIN
GAME, running at the Playhouse until August 25.
Gin Game is full of laughs
BY JOANNE BUCHANAN
Any wife who has ever been taught by her
husband how to play cards, how to drive a
car, or how to do anything for that matter,
will really relate to THE GIN GAME, a
hilarious comedy now being presented at
Huron Country Playhpuse in Grand Bend.
Eric House and Libby Morris, the lone
cast members in this 'play directed by Ron
Ulrich, are nothing short of superb intheir
roles. They portray the cynical Weller
Martin and the weary Fonsia Dorsey,
residents of a dilapidated old -folks' home.
Since neither of them ever has any visitors,
they retreat to the porch each Vistors' Day
to play gin. rummy.
At first, Fonsia doesn't know how to play
gin and isn't particularly keen on learning.
Once she does learn however, she cannot
seem to stop winning—even when she tries
to. This really grates on Weller's nerves and
that's where the hilarity begins.
From here on, it's a battle of the sexes and
Weller, the veteran card player, becomes
obsessed with trying to win. The more he
plays, the more he loses his temper and
THEATRE REVIEW
: eventually, he brow -beats Fonsia into
fighting back and using language as foul as
his own.
Conversation during each card game tells
us about past regrets of both characters and
also about some of the problems which exist
„in old -folks' homes.
Cleverly written by D.L. Coburn, THE
GIN GAME is a play which makes you laugh
and think at the same time.
Set and costume design by Lesley
Macaulay add just the right touch to this
4 • production, with lots of attention to detail.
THE GIN GAME is my personal favorite
of all the productions mounted at the
Playhouse so far this season. It runs until
August 25 and will be followed by the
musical, AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' which opens
August 28 for a three .week run to close the
1984 season.
