Winners and Losers is a conversation that embraces the ruthless logic of capitalism, and tests its impact on our closest personal relationships, and our most intimate experiences of self.

Theatre artists and long-time friends Marcus Youssef and James Long sit at a table and play a game they made up, called winners and losers. In it, they name people, places, or things — Pam Anderson, microwave ovens, their fathers, Goldman Sachs, Mexico, etc. —and debate whether they are winners or losers.
As each one seeks to defeat the other, the debate becomes personal as they dissect each other’s individual, familial, and class histories. And because one of these men is the product of economic privilege, and the other is not, the competition very quickly adds up.
Nominated for a 2015 Governor General’s Literary Award
