ADDICTION STORY by Laura Jacoves

Addiction Story

written and directed by Laura Jacoves

starring Mitra Jouhari as The Author

"In this meta-theatrical monologue, Mitra Jouhari plays Brooklyn-based trans Jewish playwright Laura Jacoves as she tells the story of her desperate attempt to escape an endless drug-fueled death-spiral. Making a deal with Jesus Christ, Laura gets to become cis as long as she keeps to her sobriety. Addiction Story collapses recovery cliches with surreal irreverence and visceral immediacy. Jouhari gives a tour de force hopping across genres and tones with contagious reverie."
