Press Reviews

"A poker game serves as the anchor when old men and young men view camaraderie, loyalty and tradition through different eyes. This touching and very funny play uses wit and a basement den to pit varying views on aging, sex, love, death, and friendship. ”His play has humor, tragedy, nostalgia, credibility, affection and other attributes, including a tribute to equal rights…It is one most audiences are likely to enjoy, and it's one that theatre companies will probably welcome…the laughs come loud and often.“ —Variety. ”Andrew Johns has crafted a fine comic tale of bonding around the most sacrosanct of male rites—the weekly poker game."
