PLAY SUMMARY:
Despite the title, this show does not revolve around alcohol. This is a biting, touching and often wildly funny play that probes into the relationship of three sisters whose lives have reached a point of crisis. Time has erased the tender closeness of girlhood, and with the recent death of their mother the simmering resentments of many years burst alive and are exacerbated by the intrusion of a well-meaning but boorish neighbor couple. The conclusion combines all the pathos, humor and searing honesty of the play with overwhelming effect.
