Greg's play puts a recognizable human face on a person many people want to plaster over as a symbol of an unpleasant member of society, the addict. By emphasizing the everyman nature of the lead character, we realize it's not enough to just label someone as a lost cause to an insurmountable force. We meet the person behind the stigma. I found myself rooting for Brian, not dismissing him. I had the pleasure of seeing this performed. Pleasure being a strange word considering the subject matter, but it was one of the most moving pieces of theater I've ever seen.
