    Every moment of this tension filled monologue keeps you connected to what Wendy, an alcoholic is going through. In Charles Scott Jones Night of A Thousand Sips, the inner torment is visceral. Should Wendy take a sip of that whiskey sour she's holding?! Beautifully written and totally believable. A wonderful monologue!

    A tension-filled monologue that will have you rooting for Wendy. To sip or not to sip is the question; a potentially deadly decision when you are a recovering alcoholic. Playwright Charles Scott Jones expertly keeps us on the edge of our casino stools as we internally scream at Wendy to put the drink down. The craft in this monologue will make it a joy for anyone to perform or direct.

    You can just feel the magnetic pull of the whiskey sour for our speaker. Nice build of anxiety for the listener/reader as we wait to see how she’s going to get herself out of this precarious situation. Well done.
