VIDEOS: James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson Laugh and Reminisce at THE GIN GAME Photoshoot

A pair of delightful videos from The Gin Game's first photoshoot. First, Cicely Tyson reminds James Earl Jones of the first time they appeared on stage together. Then, see how the leading man loves to make his leading lady laugh.

Winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, THE GIN GAME returns to the Golden Theatre where the original production opened in 1977, starring Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Since its premiere, the play has also been staged across the United States and all over the world. THE GIN GAME has also been filmed twice for television; in 1981 with original stars Cronyn and Tandy, and in 2003 with Dick van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore.

Weller Martin (James Earl Jones) and Fonsia Dorsey (Cicely Tyson) meet on the porch of their nursing home and strike up a friendship, with Weller teaching Fonsia how to play gin rummy. As they play, they share stories about the lives they led in the outside world. But when Fonsia wins every hand, Weller becomes increasingly frustrated, until their gin games and conversations become a battleground, with each player exposing the other's failures, disappointments and insecurities.

The production will be directed by Leonard Foglia and feature set and costume design by Riccardo Hernandez, lighting design by Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer and sound design by David Van Tieghem.
