A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE

Drinking in America

Full-Length Play, Comedy  /  1m

Eric Bogosian

"Bogosian's gallery of crazy drunks straddles the social gamut, from a wino lying in the gutter to a coked up Hollywood talent agent. What they all share is their pathetic need to be 'special' and their reliance on drink and drugs to fool them into fool thinking that fantasy is real." - New York Post
