Addiction plays are very popular these days.Β Broadway is very busy with the musical Days of Wine and Roses (which I saw and didnβt like for all its preachiness and datedness) and Off-Broadway has The White Chip.Β As The White Chip started with its minimal set in a sort of AA meeting space with 3 actors taking on a multitude of roles, I thought it was going to be a corny comedic take on the whole drinking thing – but I was happily surprised.Β The White Chip was really a rather remarkable ride taking an alcoholic from those early days of Mormon Church challenges and teen drinking to full blown, toxic drunk, to recovering alcoholic.Β
