Bill W. and Dr. Bob by Samuel Shem and Janet Surrey
Bill W. and Dr. Bob recounts the inspiring, and often humorous, true story of Bill Wilson and Dr. Robert Smith, two men whose friendship ultimately led to the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous. Together with their wives, Lois Wilson and Anne Smith, who went on to develop Al-Anon, their discoveries have touched and saved countless lives since the program’s inception. Bill W and Dr. Bob debuted in 2007 with an award-winning run Off-Broadway before moving across the country with record-breaking performances in over 30 states in the U.S, Australia, Canada, and England. During the roaring '20s, New York stockbroker Bill Wilson rides high on money, fame, and booze. In '29, both he and the market crash and he becomes a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon in Akron, Ohio, and a pillar of the community, has been a secret drunk for thirty years, often going into the operating room hungover and high on sedatives. His family has tried everything to no avail. Through an astonishing series of events involving doctors, ministers, the Oxford Group evangelical movement, and Henrietta Sieberling a scion of the Goodyear Rubber fortune, Bill and Bob meet on Mother's Day of 1935. The two men form a relationship which keeps each sober. Fired up, they seek out a third drunk to see if their program will work for others. Richly textured with the ragtime and jazz of the era, the play tells a magnificent American success story. Directed by Scott Wichmann With Chris Hester and Ken Moretti in the title roles. Also featuring Grey Garrett, Patricia Alli, David Janosik and Audra Honaker Part of The Acts of Faith Festival
"Wonderful uplifting new play...a joyous drama of the triumph and survival of the humor spirit...filled with humor and grace." -Examiner "A deeply human, audience embracing tale." -Variety
"The phrase "God As We Understand Him" is perhaps the most important expression to be found in our whole AA vocabulary. Within the compass of these five significant words there can be included every kind and degree of faith, together with the positive assurance that each of us may choose his own." -Bill Wilson
"Captures the humor of the human experience" -The New York Times "The miraculous story, beautifully told, of the men who named the disease and created the cure." --Martin Sheen
"You don't have to be a member of AA to enjoy this- it's what good theatre should be" -TalkinBroadway
