A Pulitzer Prize Winning Play by DL Coburn.
On a broken down porch of a seedy nursing home sits a lone figure playing a solitary and unsuccessful game of patience. Financially destitute and physically ailing he must stay in the home. A prim and self-righteous lady joins him on the porch. They discover that they both dislike the home but enjoy Gin Rummy. They begin to play while revealing intimate details of their lives. The games however are all one sided resulting in uncontrollable rage but finally in the despair of a spirit broken.
