The Gamblers Tickets

Nobody is what they seem in this comedy of card sharps and con artists by Nikolai Gogol. Acclaimed Russian director Aleksey Burago stages this play featuring actors Albert Baker, Michael Donaldson, Roman Freud, Kristina Korop, Justin Masters, Paulo Quiros, Tom Schubert, Mark Simmons and Oleksiy Varfolomiyev.

Ikharev, a professional gambler, checks into a small hotel in a small town ready to scam more unsuspecting people. He meets three local gamblers in the hotel who tell him of a rich landowner, Mr. Glov would be a perfect mark. The men join forces to scheme Mr. Glov into a game of cards to relieve him of some of his money. What happens next is a series of twists and turns that remind us of an old saying: never trust a gambler.
