Summary

Praised as “a breakneck, hair-raising comic tour of the contemporary American male psyche” by The New York Times, Drinking in America, is a gritty, muscular restaging with star Andre Royo (The Wire) bringing to vivid life more than a dozen colorful characters, each in the throes of intoxication. Written and originated by three-time Obie Award winner Eric Bogosian, this critically acclaimed work takes on a new persona in our present day, with terms like toxic masculinity and male fragility at the forefront of the zeitgeist. In this new interpretation, Drinking in America continues to challenge society’s ideal of what exactly makes a man and just how easy it can be to break that same man down.

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

storming performance

Andre Royo takes us on a tour of the lives of people across America — from hilarious hoodlums with wild stories, to film industry execs, to lonely itinerant ceramics salesmen, to frantic chefs and actors in beer ads — through their use (or abuse) of alcohol (and more). the script is clever and adroit and the performances by Royo are powerful from the comic to the emotional. I loved it.
