Look Back at Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn in The Gin Game on Broadway

The Gin Game by D.L. Coburn opened at the John Golden Theatre October 6, 1977. The play, directed by Mike Nichols, is about a frustrated couple—Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy—in a nursing home who find themselves playing a not-too-friendly game of cards. The show ran for 517 performances. Cronyn and Tandy reprised their roles in a London production in 1979, which ran for eight weeks.
