A high-stakes poker game tests loyalty, deception, and survival in a gripping showdown.
On Sunday nights, Stephen hosts a regular poker game in the basement of his struggling London restaurant. The usual players—his staff and his wayward son—gather around the table, but tonight, an unexpected guest has joined. As tensions rise and bets escalate, the game takes a brutal turn, where skill, deception, and survival matter more than the cards themselves.
Patrick Marber’s acclaimed debut play, first staged in 1995, won the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy and the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Award for Best West End Play. Since then, it has captivated audiences in over 50 cities worldwide.
