The Gin Game by D.L. Coburn (1977)

This was one of the plays that the visiting Latvian actors asked for. Thought I'd read it myself. It is about two elderly people at a nursing home, who play gin and talk a bit about their lives. Slowly you see their personalities uncovered and why they are quite alone in life. I am not sure how this will translate into Latvian - the emotions are real and similar, but there are no nursing homes in Latvia, so the setting and circumstances will have to be altered.
