My husband and I traveled from Rockford to see a matinee performance of "The Gin Game" at Drury Lane. Paula Scrofano and John Reeger made this old favorite come to life with humor, tension, and some relatable physical stuff. Very enjoyable.
More than 30 years ago, we saw Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy perform "The Gin Game" at the Shubert, and we still have vivid memories of the impact of the story and the acting. Now another married couple, John Reeger and Paula Scrofano, have outdone Cronyn and Tandy, both in depth of performance and release of passions. Having been fans of Reeger and Scrofano for several years, we were not surprised. The gripping final scene brought tears to our eyes. Bravo!!
Play was great, although Ticketmaster tacks on outrageous fees. Food was good, but limited choices
The actors were wonderful, the sets impressive. The script was a surprise, I found no mention in the synopsis of a senior retirement situation drama. I felt the content accurate and well presented. However, my friends and I, celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary, were hoping for an uplifting tale of a card game between friends. This portrayal was serious and dramatic.
The play was very good, acting was outstanding with both humor and drama. The length was a bit short for the money.
Play left me feeling in despair; the plot was fine but the ending was disgusting leaving no resolution to the problem.
We LOVED The Gin Game! So many things "hit home" for us. We laughed .... a lot. Actors were excellent and the set .... oh my goodness the set was absolutely amazing!!! A Must See.
An afternoon away before our 41 Wedding Anniversary turned into one of the most remarkable rides home from a truly passionate performance. Having spent nearly 10 years in 2 different nursing homes attending my in-laws, the artists hit their mark on depicting real life in the "Home". Even the folks portraying CNA's were true to life in their roles. Thank you to all for putting on the realistic masks of those who live their sunset days as best as they possibly can. We are still talking about the play.
