“Five men gather every week, after the restaurant in which they work closes for the night, to play poker. They battle with cards and with egos to see who’s going to go home with the pot at the end of the game. And when a stranger enters one night the stakes become even higher…A play of male camaraderie and competitiveness, Dealer’s Choice is a great study of life.”

“It’s a very simple set up: six actors sit in a row on the stage in West Oxford Community Centre on Botley Road and tell the stories of six members of our community…It was a privilege to be a witness to these personal experiences,and to feel such a wonderful sense of community, though I did also feel like a bit of an inferior human being in the presence of such passion, whether their stands were successful or not…. Inspirational, funny, moving, I can’t recommend this highly enough.”
