Summary

"Drinking in America" is a sequence of fourteen dramatic segments (... monologues), which together create a pastiche; a meditation on a theme. The title of the piece is a 'red herring,' for the true theme is not so much inebriation in the normal sense of the word, rather it is the inebriation and excitement of fantasy and power. The piece is meant to be performed solo and without special effects, costumes or complex mime."--Review from www.amazon.com
