In 1929, famous New York stockbroker Bill Wilson crashes along with the stock market and becomes a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon from Ohio, has also been an alcoholic for 30 years. Through an astonishing series of events, Bill and Bob meet and form a relationship, each helping the other to stay sober
The play artfully illustrates Bill and Bob’s journey from the pain and isolation of alcoholism to the hope and inspiration they find in sobriety and helping others. The play originally opened at the New World Stages off-Broadway in New York, to outstanding critical acclaim.
