Addiction, manipulation, and infidelity undercut Jackie's struggle for love, sobriety & connection.

​

A high-octane verbal cage match about love, fidelity and misplaced haberdashery.

​

Addiction, pain, and explosive tempers are not exactly what you’d imagine as the ingredients for a side-splitting comedy. Yet Steven Adly Guirgis has created a highly 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, and was nominated for six Tony Awards including Best Play.

​

Struggles with addiction, friendship, love, and the challenges of adulthood are at the center of the story. Jackie, a petty drug dealer, is just out of prison and trying to stay clean. He's also still in love with his coke-addicted childhood sweetheart, Veronica.
