"...Compass Rose Theater's production of The Gin Game is a fun look at a tempestuous, surprising friendship. D.L. Coburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, about two older residents of a senior living facility who play gin together, is a curious mixture of comedy and serious reflection. Directed by Rick Wade, it makes for engaged watching."

"...Compass Rose Theater’s production of “The Gin Game,” directed by Rick Wade, is an intense, two-hander that will hold your attention to the last minute. Written by D.L.Coburn, this 1977 play garnered Tony nominations and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is unflinching with the mirror it holds up to the audience."
