A backroom bar tale of the perils of winning. Four men on a ship from Havana to New York, all champion swimmers, all playing poker. It is not for nothing that they call one of them 'Lucky Johnny'… But this time he is really pushing his luck. Brecht's wry and sinister story is set to live piano accompaniment in the theatre's most intimate space. Adapted from the short story by Bertolt Brecht
