«Dealer's Choice» is the play by Patrick Marber, published by Methuen Drama in paperback (128 pages, in English).
Set around a poker game, the play portrays a group of men trapped between gambling addiction, the need to risk everything, and their personal relationships. Marber turns the table into a mirror of obsessions and failures, with a tragicomic tone and a tension that grips even those who don't know how to play.
Premiered at the Royal National Theatre in London in 1995, it was Patrick Marber's first play; it won the Evening Standard for Best Comedy and the Writers' Guild for Best West End Play.
For readers interested in contemporary British theatre and in stories of addiction and risk set in the world of gambling.
Patrick Albert Crispin Marber is an English comedian, playwright, director, actor, and screenwriter. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2002.
