We are proud to present this award-winning work by Chicago Street Theatre's resident playwright, under the direction of the author himself!
Four World War II veterans have been playing a monthly game of poker since 1945. They have been dragging 5 percent from every pot for more than 50 years, and this "side pot" has grown to a sizable fortune. As Billy, Earl, Kooch and Dale compete in this monthly game of skill and luck, they struggle over what to do with their shared nest egg. As the debates escalate, their conflicting views on love, friendship, politics, death and taxes are revealed. The only referee in the debate seems to be Judy Clabber, a single mother who is Billy's cleaning lady. In the end, which player holds the trump card? Who will survive this game of wits and be the heir presumptive to their poker fortune? Will rivalry and resentment destroy their friendships and the game itself? The table is set. Shuffle up and deal. Jellofish is a winner of the AACTNewPlayFest.
