Performance Space 122 presents
Edgar Oliver
East 10th Street; Portrait with Empty House
"... a judiciously austere production... sweet and sinister... (Oliver is) a living work of theater all by himself." - Ben Brantley, New York Times
"...an outlandish cast, worthy of Dostoyevsky... creepy and droll beyond words... a pitch-perfect delivery... profoundly affecting." - New York Press
As I was walking in front of this old, decayed townhouse, I happened to look up just in time to see a gnarled hand reach through the Venetian blinds and tape this beat-up old paper bag to the inside of the parlor floor window. On the paper bag was scrawled in pencil, in this kind of horror handwriting - Room For Rent. So I ran up the front steps, and I rang the doorbell. The room was very small. But it had a big, beautiful window looking out onto the trees of Tenth Street.
Direct from its sell-out Off-Broadway season, legendary New York theater-icon Edgar Oliver weaves a fantastical and hilarious voyage through the dark and strange rooms of his East Village tenement building; in-habited by a dwarf cabalist, possible Nazi, the landlord's former wet nurse, - and wherein lie the secrets of his family and the unbelievable odyssey that brought him there.
