Between Riverside and Crazy (TCG Edition)

<div><p>"Guirgis, like other storytellers who explore the sacred and profane, is most interested in how grace transforms us."—<i>The New Yorker</i></P><p>Written with humor, tenderness, grit, and wonderment by acclaimed playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis, <i>Between Riverside and Crazy </i>is an extraordinary new play: a dark comedy about a man trying to maintain control as the world unravels around him.</P><p>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. As ex-cop and recent widower Walter "Pops" Washington struggles to hold on to one of the last great rent-stabilized apartments on Riverside Drive, he must also contend with old wounds, new houseguests, and a final ultimatum. It seems the old days are dead and gone — after a lifetime living between Riverside and Crazy.<p><b>Stephen Adly Guirgis</b>' other plays include <i>The Motherfucker with the Hat</i>, <i>Jesus Hopped the 'A' Train</i>, <i>Our Lady of 121st Street</i>, <i>In Arabia We'd All Be Kings</i>, <i>The Last Days of Judas Iscariot</i>, <i>The Little Flower of East Orange</i>, <i>Den of Thieves</i>, <i>Race Religion Politics</i>, and <i>Dominica: The Fat Ugly Ho</i>.
