Second Stage Theatre
307 W 43rd St, New York, NY 10036
City Hall is demanding more than his signature, the Landlord wants him out, the liquor store is closed — and the Church won’t leave him alone. For ex-cop & recent widower Walter Pops Washington and his recently paroled son Junior, when the struggle to hold on to one of the last great rent stabilized apartments on Riverside Drive collides with old wounds, sketchy new houseguests, and a final ultimatum, it seems the Old Days are dead and gone — after a lifetime living between Riverside and Crazy.

From the wildly original author of Broadway’s The Motherf**ker with the Hat, Jesus Hopped the A Train, and The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
.

Directed by Austin Pendleton

Reviews

  • Between Riverside and Crazy, the rich new play from Stephen Adly Guirgis at the Linda Gross Theater, resides in an in-between land of its own. I’d locate it somewhere south of cozy and north of dangerous, west of sitcom and due east of tragedy. 

    ---New York Times
  • Stephen Adly Guirgis’ play about a former New York cop is tender, gritty, shocking and crowned with a great performance by Stephen McKinley Henderson

    ---NY Daily News
  • Stepping into a rent-controlled apartment in New York City is an experience akin to time travel. Pre-war cabinetry, overstuffed antique furniture (that was not purchased in an antique store), and the type of New Yorkers you might only see in an old Woody Allen movie: These are all things you're likely to find in your typical rent-controlled apartment in Manhattan. Stephen Adly Guirgis invites audiences on just such a time warp in his brilliant and complicated new play, Between Riverside and Crazy, now making its world premiere at Atlantic Theater Company.
