Bill W. is an alcoholic and he is struggling to keep it together. He needs to find another drunk to talk to. No one else will understand what he is going through. So, he finds Dr. Bob, an alcoholic surgeon. Just talking to him helps more than anything else ever has. Together, they decide to put together a program which eventually becomes Alcoholics Anonymous.

It’s a very interesting and heartwarming play. Alcoholism is defined as the inability to control drinking due to both a physical and emotional dependence on alcohol. The characters are truly suffering from this dependence as they reach their rock bottom, but then they slowly pull themselves out of it.

Ronnie Marmo (I’m Not A Comedian… I’m Lenny Bruce) is great as Bill. Marmo is very invested in the role as he has been attending meetings since he was 17. Steve Gelder is excellent as .Dr Bob, who displays such a full range of emotions on his journey to sobriety. Katherine Wettermann (Gigi’s Party) is excellent as the very understanding wife of Bill. Elizabeth Rude is superb as Dr. Bob’s wife. Phil Aman is amazing as a variety of drunks who are the first people Bill and Bob try to reach. Marla Seidell is so joyful as many fun characters.
