On Stage: Theatre The Gin Game Cape May Stage, 405 Lafayette Street, Cape May This Pulitizer Prize winner takes place on the porch of a retirement home where iras- cible Weller Martin meets the prim, self-righteous Fon- sia Dosey. Fonsia wins every game and their secrets be- come weapons used against each other. “The New York Times” called the play “a thoroughly entertaining les- son in the fine art of theatri- cal finesse. The closest thing the theatre offers to a duel at 10 paces.” It is a funny, intelli- gent play that will touch your heart even as you laugh at the characters foibles. Presented August 9 through September 22. NJ STAGE 2017 - Vol. 4 No. 7 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 66
