New York City
Jackie, out on parole and newly sober, is determined to start anew with his childhood
sweetheart Veronica, but her unrelenting coke addiction, his slick-talking AA sponsor, and
the discovery of another man’s hat in his living room all threaten to derail Jackie’s tenuous
progress. With profane passion and genuine vulnerability, Jackie and Veronica untangle
their decades of co-dependence as they wrestle with the painful limitations of trust, desire,
and rehabilitation. A smash hit on Broadway, Stephen Adly Guirgis’ rapid-fire black
comedy is an intoxicating and cheerfully vulgar look at the complicated recovery from
love and other addictions.
