NEW YORK — Andre Royo, a scene stealer in seminal TV series like “The Wire” and “Empire” and the recently Oscar-nominated film “To Leslie,” is tackling his most challenging role to date in Audible Theater’s revival of “Drinking in America,” which opened at Minetta Lane Theater on Sunday.
The 54-year-old Bronx native yearned to return to his roots in New York City theater but had no idea how hard his first headlining off-Broadway role would hit home.
Written in 1986 by Eric Bogosian, the one-man play centers on 12 inebriated men under the influence of everything from heroin to alcohol to power.
