Product Description

A 'Drama a' Clef' based upon the actual intervention of a somewhat infamous American playwright, this work is an exploration of the frustrating and frightening mental roller-coaster ride an alcoholic faces in his battle against the pain, shame and actual hostility which his disorder wreaks. At one time the prevailing theory was that no progress in controlling the disease could be made until the alcoholic himself recognized his problem and sought treatment. Usually this occurred only when he hit the proverbial bottom of the barrel. Often referred to as the disease of denial, alcoholism poses a Catch 22. How can someone seek help who denies he has a problem? Answer? He can't. Hence the process of 'intervening.' Rather than awaiting the inevitable train wreck, friends see the train coming and pull the alcoholic out of harm's way. Naturally they must be trained to successfully accomplish this maneuver and the Whiskey School screenplay precisely chronicles this psychologically draining endeavor.
