No one could accuse playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis of being reticent.  And nobody could accuse his plays of being boring (nor his dialogue of failing to snap, crackle, and pop).  This is a reading of one of Guirgis's Greatest Hits, featuring several members of the original cast — as well as such notable ringers as Bobby Cannavale and Laurence Fishburne.  Sadly, Philip Seymour Hoffman is unavailable to return as director. 

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Try this drinking game:  take a drink every time somebody says "fuck".  You won't make it through Act One.  And here's the drink to do it with:  an Expat.  Pour 2 oz. Bourbon, 1 oz. lime juice, and 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup, with a dash of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish with a mint leaf.
