A lifelong gambler and habitual storyteller receives a diagnosis that gives him two months to live. He bets that he’ll beat the prognosis — but can he out-gamble his own mortality? Told from the perspective of his grandson, and written by one of the playwrights of our 2025 hit Square Go, this funny and tender tall tale is “heart-warming, human, searching, and just a touch mysterious, as only the best of stories can be.” (The Scotsman)
