Time Out says

From the mind of David Mamet comes a razor-sharp noir thriller about risk, deception and obsession. When celebrated psychoanalyst Dr Margaret Ford takes on a troubled new patient, her clinical curiosity leads her into the seedy backrooms of Chicago’s gambling scene. As she infiltrates the House of Games, a dangerous underground poker lounge, she’s drawn into a complex psychological battle with a charming con man named Mike. Adapted by acclaimed playwright Richard Bean and directed by Jonathan Kent, this thrilling stage production is a masterclass in tension.
