No one ever writes about William Electric Black without noting that he started out writing for Sesame Street.  The plays that he presents under this guise are a good deal angrier.  Here's a reading of two of them.  Expect to feel like you've been punched in the gut.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  100-Year-Old Cigar:  rinse a chilled Martini glass or coupe with Absinthe.  Pour 1-3/4 oz. dark aged Rum, 1/4 oz. peaty Scotch (like Laphroaig), and 3/4 oz. each of Cynar and Bénédictine, with 1 dash of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Strain into the rinsed glass.
