| Synopsis: | It's Christmas week and Brian has arrived in rehab from prison. As an alcoholic of thirty years, he's in very poor health. His care worker, Wilf, is someone from Brian's past and is now in an unhappy marriage with an alcoholic and abusive wife. Wilf's personal circumstances reach breaking point when Brian confronts him over his sexuality. Team leader, Yvonne, student, Mags and Bob, the cook, all try to keep Brian sober and Wilf safe. A drama shot through with dark humour that explores what it really means to be sober. Is knowledge king or simply dangerous? Must it be tempered with experience to reach good practice? All the characters in this play are the work of the author's imagination. | |||||
