Walter “Pops� Washington has had enough. His landlord won’t leave him alone, his wife recently passed away, and the liquor store can’t keep up with his thirst. Pops� last living relative, his son Junior, has recently moved back to Pops� house with his girlfriend, Lulu, and his newly-sober buddy, Oswaldo. With his heels dug into the floor of his rent-controlled Riverside Drive apartment, Pops holds onto old wounds -- physical and emotional -- picking continually at scabs he refuses to allow to heal. Pressure reaches a boiling point when an ultimatum comes from an unlikely source, pinning Pops squarely “between Riverside and crazy.� Between Riverside and Crazy, Tony Award-nominee Stephen Adley Guirgis� Pulitzer Prize-winning play, is passionate, contemporary, and bracingly funny.
