Between Riverside and Crazy

In this outrageous new dark comedy from Stephen Adly Guirgis (The Motherf*cker with the Hat, Jesus Hopped the A Train), ex-cop and recent widower Walter “Pops” Washington is desperately trying to hold on to his prime piece of real estate—one of the last great rent-stabilized apartments in New York City—while simultaneously battling his inner demons. His landlord wants him and his newly paroled son out; his cop friends are begging him to back down from a lawsuit against City Hall; the local liquor store has closed; and a beautiful, mysterious Santeria practitioner promises salvation in the midst of all the chaos. A hilarious and timely story that tackles gentrification, recovery, faith, sketchy houseguests, and the saving grace of family, Between Riverside and Crazy is “a genuine original that deserves to be seen by anyone hungry for a smart, exuberantly funny urban dramedy” (Newsday).
