What a heartrending drama - starring a man so bereft of self-esteem, he has poisoned his own mind to the point that he is toxic to whatever place he is in. Beyond, being a masterful piece of writing, this is an important work that achingly showcases the issue of alcoholism and the toll it takes.<br /><br />You really blew me away, on this one. Love it! Love it! Love it!
