Playwright David Mamet's brilliant debut as a film director, House of Games is a psychological thriller in which a young woman psychiatrist falls prey to an elaborate and ingenious con game by one of her patients, who entraps her--with her own subconscious connivance--in a series of criminal escapades. It is a breathless roller-coaster ride of a movie that keeps springing one bizarre surprise after another, sustaining suspense with dazzling audacity. The unsuspecting audience is lured into a psychological and moral thicket of troubling implications, which bear the unmistakable imprint of Mamet's intensely personal vision.

...true but different, gripping but transparent, and full of genuine stage thrills. It s a great show, very funny... It works, in fact, as a sort of black farce, and is given a new tone of absurdity that is purely theatrical. --whatsonstage.com

In a new adaptation of David Mamet s film, Harvard-educated psychoanalyst Margaret Ford is celebrated for her best selling book Driven! Compulsion and Obsession in Every Day Life . Stepping in to help one of her patients settle his gambling debts, she compromises her professional reputation and is drawn into the seedy underworld of the House of Games poker club. Seduced by charismatic hustler Mike, Margaret convinces herself that she can make an academic study of the con. Before she realises it, Margaret is entangled in a fast-paced complex thriller.
