This world premiere play by James J. Hsiao, MD, introduces audiences to five recovering addicts and their sometimes-catastrophic attempts to survive a 28-day recovery program. Not yielding to temptation becomes a day-to-day strategy as questionable practices ensue. Relationships begin, strengthen, and disintegrate as these five lives spin, turn, evolve, and stand still. The production of this play is part of the Addiction/Recovery Project which will present a series of community conversations surrounding the production. Generous support is provided by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
