Dealer's Choice June 17, 2009

Dealer’s Choice proves witty and suspenseful and was the winner of the Writers’ Guild Award for Best West End Play and of the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy.

Dealer’s Choice stars six highly successful Australian actors and provides a rich showcase of talent. Making up the circle of Poker players is John Leary who has worked with Neil Armfield and featured in popular television series Water Rats, Ashley Lyons who played in the Sydney Theatre Company’s The Removalists earlier this year, Sam North who performed recently in the Griffin Company’s Stoning Mary, Christopher Stollery who starred in the Sydney Theatre Company’s Vertical Hour and Company B’s Ruben Guthrie, David Terry, who previously worked with Director Craig Ilott in Company B’s The Pillowman and David Webb who has also worked with Ilott in Edmond.

[Director,] Craig Ilott’s excellent production of Dealer’s Choice catches not just the play’s humour and macho swagger... but also the fear... Highly recommended.
Sun Herald
It’s a very good play given a fine direction by Craig Ilott.
