House of Games

Dr. Margaret Ford, a renowned psychoanalyst and best-selling author, has a new client. Billy is struggling with a dangerous mix of addiction to sex, drugs, and high-stakes gambling at the illicit poker lounge, the House of Games. As Dr. Ford delves into his case, she discovers an opportunity for her next best-seller, leading her deep into Chicago’s criminal underworld. There, she crosses paths with Mike, a charismatic gambler.

What begins as a therapeutic session quickly evolves into a high-stakes game where no one knows the rules, their roles, or who will ultimately hold the trump card.

This thrilling stage adaptation of David Mamet's gripping noir play comes from acclaimed playwright Richard Bean, whose previous works include Reykjavik, To Have and To Hold, and Kiss Me. Directed by Jonathan Kent, known for his previous Hampstead productions such as Double Feature, Good People, and The Forest, this performance promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
