Upcoming Performances

The Gin Game

Presented by the Dorset Players along with Kitchens of Vermont

The Dorset Players along with Kitchens of Vermont present a staged reading of D.L. Coburn’s The Gin Game. Directed by Josh Bond, The Gin Game will be at the Dorset Playhouse, 104 Cheney Rd. Dorset on March 13^th at 7:30PM and March 15^th at 2PM. No reservations needed, $10 requested donation at the door.

This winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, which originally starred Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn and was later revived with Julie Harris and Charles Durning, uses a card game as a metaphor for life. Weller Martin (Thomas Stevens) is playing solitaire on the porch of a seedy nursing home. Enter Fonsia Dorsey (Elizabeth Karet), a prim, self-righteous lady. They discover they both dislike the home and enjoy gin rummy, so they begin to play and to reveal intimate details of their lives. Fonsia wins every time, and their secrets become weapons used against one another. Weller longs for a victory to counter a lifetime of defeats, but it doesn’t happen. He leaves the stage a broken man, and Fonsia realizes her self-righteous rigidity has led to an embittered, lonely, old age.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit?

Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, CLUE is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.
