Whiskey Neat (Drama)

Synopsis

An original work by Paul Milord, Whiskey Neat is set in Chicago, 1949. The action takes place in the back room/accounting office of an illegal high end gambling club run by an Irish Mob. We have an unassuming accountant, Harry, who has the ear of his boss, Beverly (who secretly pines for Harry). We have two gunmen, Roy and Ed, one a funny, bored drinker and ersatz bank guard, the other an enforcer/bouncer. We have a blunt, malignant floor manager, Izzi. And we have a cocktail waitress, Trudy, who despises her job. Into this mix steps Beverly’s nephew, Mike, who stirs up a hornet’s nest of emotion, confrontation and violence, as he pursues his romantic interest, Trudy, and forces his Aunt Beverly to confront her past. Whiskey Neat is a study in loneliness, loss, love…and redemption.
