Stephen Adly Guirgis' Pulitzer Prize-winning play makes its Broadway premiere.
Stephen Adly Guirgis' Pulitzer Prize-winning play makes its Broadway premiere.
Between Riverside and Crazy tells the story of Walter “Pops” Washington, an ex-cop and recent widower, who, with his recently paroled son Junior, struggle to hold on to one of the last rent-stabilized apartments on Riverside Drive. The old days seem to be dead and gone for the two as old wounds are opened, sketchy new houseguests turn up and a final ultimatum is delivered.
"A stunning achievement crackling with humor and shot through with surprises. A rare breed of theater."

"An astonishing play, tied up in a big, foul-mouthed holiday bow. Everyone should see it."
