Event Description:
Weller Martin and Fornsia Dorsey are two elderly residents of a nursing home when they strike up an acquaintance. Weller offers to teach Fonsia to play gin rummy. Fonsia always wins. Weller’s inability to win a single hand becomes increasingly frustrating to him. They engage in lengthy conversations about their families and their lives in the outside world. Each conversation becomes a battle, much like the ongoing gin game. By Donald L. Coburn. Directed by Dimitri Gerasimenko.
