Dealer's Choice Reviews

"I'll lay my cards on the table with this one. Shattered Globe's production is sensational... It has some of the finest writing, most riveting acting and ultra-sleek direction to be found on any stage at the moment. And coming directly on the heels on the company's superb revival of 'The House of Blue Leaves,' it is just added proof that Shattered Globe is on a roll."

“Patrick Marber’s taut, generous British drama is fertile ground for both kinetic ensemble work and bravura solo turns, opportunities that Shattered Globe Theatre fully exploits. Six poker players, whether sharks or marks, reveal their hands in Steve Scott’s crackling revival.”

"Four stars! Steve Scott’s incredibly tight direction of this exceptional ensemble creates moments of great humor as well as excruciatingly vivid despondency. At times these moments are as real as theatre can present... Shattered Globe's production plays more than just its cards right. It's a sure bet."

- Venus Zarris, Gay Chicago Magazine

"Dealer's Choice is a fine ensemble effort...It's hard to take your eyes off [Doug] McDade. It's a quiet, understated performance, and makes a decently written play into a resonant evening."

- Chris Piatt, TimeOut Chicago
