James Wilson takes a look at Patience, part of Second Stage's Uptown Series:
Appearing before a class of budding high-school Solitaire and Go Fish card sharks, world-champion and record-holder Daniel Bryant (Justiin Davis) casually announces, "I've been called the Venus Williams of Solitaire." As portrayed in Johnny G. Lloyd's Patience, now playing as part of Second Stage's Uptown Season at the McGinn/ Cazale Theater, professional Solitaire is a highly competitive, cut-throat, and apparently very lucrative sport. It is no wonder that at age 25, Daniel is ready to call it quits. |
