Addiction, pain, and explosive tempers are not exactly what you’d call the ingredients for a side-splitting comedy. Yet Steven Adly Guiguis has created a profane, hilarious masterpiece that earned a "hatful" of theatrical accolades in 2011, including a Drama Desk award for Outstanding Actor in a Play for Bobby Cannavale. Stars the original Broadway cast: Chris Rock, Bobby Canavale, Annabella Sciorra, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Yul Vazquez.

A 2011 Tony Award nominee for Best Play.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:

Chris Rock as Ralph D.

Bobby Cannavale as Jackie

Elizabeth Rodriguez as Veronica

Annabella Sciorra as Victoria

Yul Vázquez as Cousin Julio

Directed by Jace Alexander. Recorded by L.A. Theatre Works before a live audience.

I wanted to see this play since I heard Chris Rock was in it, what i hadn't realized it that it actually stars Bobby Cannavale who has become one of my my favorite actors (mainly due to his work on Boardwalk Empire). Anyway, I'd describe it as a entertaining look into Addiction, Recovery, Relationships and Loyalty all told with the raunchy language the that these topics can evoke. It's like cursing poetry, with poignant discussions on these topics, I loved it. I cant recommend it enough. Is long as harsh language dosn't put you off, pick it up. I've already purchased other works by Guirgis on Audible.

What a great story! And, funny too! I played Jackie in a scene study class and learned a monologue of his from this play. It's a delight listening to it and hearing that character come to life.

Splendid!
