A Play by Freyda Thomas, inspired from Jean-François Regnard
Directed by Jules Aaron

This is THE GAMESTER:

Too much wealth, too much sex and too much glitz and glamour. Sound familiar? Some people might think we’re talking about 21st-century America — but in this case, it’s 18th-century Paris. Jean François Regnard’s The Gamester is a sexy farce about a compulsive gambler who struggles between his affection for the woman he loves and his passion for games of chance. The characters in the play, many of them suffering from their own compulsions for sex, love, money, food or self-righteousness, wouldn’t be out of place in contemporary society. The Gamester reminds us in humorous fashion that some things never change.
