This is Patrick Marber's first play. He is most known for
Closer. It was ok. It deals with Carl, a compulsive gambler who has a debt to play. So he lets Ash, a professional gambler into his father's poker night. The tension is high as a group of men already want to deal physically with Carl. Ultimately this play is about family. I didn't like the use of coarse language involved but then the word of poker is not a friendly one. It was ok for a debut and showed promise.
