One Day at a Time tells the story of the man known to millions of recovering alcoholics as Bill W: how he co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous with Dr Bob Smith, pioneered the 12 steps, helped AA grow and – finally – set it free…

In a hotel in St Louis in 1955, Alcoholic’s Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson is struggling to stay sober. His depression, sex addiction, physical illness and collapsing marriage is taking its toll. Under criticism from fellow recovering alcoholics Bill instigates an encounter with an old friend who suggests a way through his troubles. Following suggestions Bill risks all and sparks off events leading to the final and greatest chapter in his and AA’s destiny.

“Theatre really doesn’t get any better than this.” —Vulpes Libris
“I urge you to see this play. Great performances from Jay Benedict as Bill, Cathy Walker as Lois and Michael Halden as Dr Bob Smith. Phil Fox deserves much credit for the writing and direction.” —London Festival Fringe
