Thompson Hall Theatre Club presents THE GIN GAME Reviewed by Chris Rohmann "The Gin Game" won the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for drama, in a thin field, because it examines an often neglected segment of the population in terms that used to be virtually taboo. The play treats old people unsentimentally, showing warts and complexities, often with a disarming, self-mocking humor - not to mention some fairly shocking language. This is a cause for admiration and an excuse to overlook gaping holes in the script. After establishing a promising relationship between its two characters, and then introducing a troubling obstacle, playwright D.L. Coburn fails to really develop or resolve either one.
