Following huge critical acclaim and a sold-out season at The Menier Chocolate Factory, DEALER’S CHOICE transfers to the Trafalgar Studios in for a strictly limited season from 6 December.

When a stranger joins the regular poker game at Stephen’s restaurant the stakes are high and winning has its price. An explosive and hilarious evening unfolds as father and son are pitted against each other and friendships are tested to breaking point.

Samuel West returns to London to direct the first major West End revival of Patrick Marber’s debut play Dealer’s Choice.

DEALER’S CHOICE premiered at the National Theatre in February 1995. It received the 1995 Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy and the Writer’s Guild Award for Best West End Play. Patrick Marber is also known for Closer, for which he wrote the stage play and later the screenplay, starring Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen and Jude Law. The film received two Golden Globe awards and two Academy Award nominations. Patrick also wrote the screenplay for the hugely successful film Notes On A Scandal, starring Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett. The film received numerous award nominations including an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay.
