Card Game
In Card Game, Stravinsky, himself a keen poker
player, plays with allegiances, rivalries and power.
John Cranko's witty choreography entered The Royal
Ballet repertory in 1966. In this modern classic, the
sly Joker banishes the proud Queen, the Two, Three,
Four, Five and Six strike a straight flush, and little
Two of Diamonds tries to spoil everyone's fun.
