Since RIVERDANCE first emerged onto the world stage, its fusion of Irish and international dance and music has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. The Grammy Award ®-winning music and the infectious energy of its mesmerizing choreography and breathtaking performances has left audiences in awe and established it as a global cultural sensation.
"The Gin Game" by Donald L. Coburn, is a touching, moving, and heart-wrenching story about two people looking back on their long lives.
Weller Martin and Fonsia Dorsey, two elderly residents at a run-down nursing home, strike up an acquaintance. Neither seems to have any other friends, and they start to enjoy each other's company. Weller offers to teach Fonsia how to play gin. The story unfolds over game after game of gin. As the games intensify, Fonsia and Weller come to grips with what is left of their lives, reveal secrets, regrets, and hopes – and sometimes those revelations become weapons.
"The Gin Game" has been performed numerous times on and off Broadway, winning the Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award in 1978. The two characters have been played through the years by the likes of Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn, Maureen Stapleton and EG Marshall, Julie Harris and Charles Durning, Mary Tyler Moore and Dick Van Dyke, and most recently, by Cicely Tyson and James Earl Jones.

“A superb night out. Highly recommended!” Scenestr“One of Netflix is a Joke Fest’s funniest shows” – LA Times
Leaving Dublin, Ireland where he was born and raised until the age of 22, David got drunk on travel and never quite hit sobriety of it. He has lived and worked in twelve countries and visited over seventy. His shows draw on his wide travels, cultural observations, attempts at language study, (occasional) international drinking session(s) and being a mildly confused immigrant. His new show Shelf Help mixes comedy and reading recommendations because that’s the kind of wild kinky stuff David is into.
David is the winner of the prestigious annual San Francisco Comedy Competition, (previous finalists include Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and Dana Carvey) and runner-up in the Moth’s largest US Grandslam storytelling competition. Also a bestselling writer, David recorded his debut special Documented for Dry Bar Comedy in 2019, and his follow up Cultural Appreciation in 2023. He has been featured on TED.com, Sirius XM, Just For Laughs, Netflix is a Joke Festival, The Irish Independent, Inc, NPR, and the Huffington Post among others. A festival favorite, David’s videos have also gone viral many times over with over 500 million views and a social following of over 2 million people. More info: davidnihill.com
