The Gin Game is D. L. Coburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about an elderly man and woman, both residents of a nursing home, whose gin rummy games bring out the best and the worst in both of them.
Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey meet on the porch of their nursing home and strike up a friendship, with Weller teaching Fonsia how to play gin rummy. As they play, they share stories about the lives they led in the outside world. But when Fonsia wins every hand, Weller becomes increasingly frustrated, until their gin games and conversations become a battleground, with each player exposing the other's failures, disappointments and insecurities.
They play repeated games of gin as they slowly come to grips with what is left of their lives in their old age.
