Addiction, pain, and explosive tempers are not exactly what you’d call the ingredients for a side-splitting comedy. Yet Steven Adly Guirgis 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.
An L.A. Theatre Works full cast performance featuring the original Broadway cast:
Chris Rock as Ralph D.
Bobby Cannavale as Jackie
Elizabeth Rodriguez as Veronica
Annabella Sciorra as Victoria
Yul Vazquez as Cousin Julio
Directed by Jace Alexander. Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at The James Bridges Theater, UCLA in January of 2013.
