Dealer's Choice

by Patrick Marber

Once a week, four men meet in a restaurant after closing time for their “friendly” poker game. But this week there is a ring-in. There is one last dinner guest lurking in the restaurant who asks to join the game.

In the suspenseful build up to the inevitable poker game, resentments are stripped bare and the men’s secrets divulged.

This is a compelling and compassionate story of father-son relationships and men’s bravado. From Academy Award® winning writer Patrick Marber (Notes on a Scandal, Closer) and directed by Craig Ilott, Dealer’s Choice is “a perfect night of entertainment”.

Originally co-produced with the Tamarama Rock Surfers, Old Fitzroy Theatre

“Craig Ilott’s excellent production catches not just the play’s humour and macho swagger… but also the fear… Highly recommended.”
