Can now share me speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative on why “The arts must play a leading role in making sure no lives are lost to addiction”. And also about how my daughter threw up the night before. Parenting!

I know it’s tough, but you can judge them for hypocrisy, cruelty, lying and grifting - not fetishes and alcohol problems. It’s tough, I get it, but we all can do it.

The President tells his family to not drink. He doesn’t drink. His brother died drunk. The Vice-President writes about addiction in his family. The Health Secretary is in recovery. This isn’t about saving lives. It’s about you spending dollars, because you haven’t been squeezed enough.

I’m always terrified for people to see this play - in many ways internalized stigma is one of the hardest to crack. But I couldn’t have had more supportive partners in Dame Tarento and the unstoppable Annaleigh Ashford.

My favorite compliment! “This is the sort of show that makes you want to rush out and see more theatre: a sharp script, three-dimensional characters you want to root for, and a compelling narrative with genuine stakes make it a must-see.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
