Description | Dealer's Choice is a darkly intelligent comedy about men's bravado, the human search for connection, and one furtive and perilous game of poker. Expertly crafted by playwright Patrick Marber (Closer, Notes on a Scandal) the dialogue in Dealer's Choice crackles with scalding wit, building scene upon scene into a desperate crescendo of suspense. This play won the Writers' Guild Award for Best West End Play and the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy. |
