Step into the tumultuous world of ex-cop Walter 'Pops' Washington, where laughter and heartache collide in Stephen Adly Guirgis' Broadway hit and Pulitzer Prize-winning tragicomedy. Since the loss of his wife, Pops has transformed his rent-controlled Manhattan apartment into a haven for an eccentric family of small-time crooks. Now, besieged by landlords, the NYPD, and well-meaning churchgoers, Pops remains resolute in doing things his way.
In this fast-paced Rabelaisian tale, Guirgis crafts a narrative that oscillates between comedy and tragedy, creating a captivating theatrical experience. As the storm rages around Pops, he navigates the chaos with a calm determination to live life on his terms.
Directed by the acclaimed Michael Longhurst, whose past successes include Caroline or Change, Gloria, and The Blackest Black, this production promises a gripping exploration of resilience and the pursuit of personal freedom. Guirgis, known for works like Jesus Hopped the A-Train and The Motherf**ker with the Hat, brings his signature style to the stage, delivering a narrative that is both astonishing and revealing.
Don't miss this opportunity to witness a powerful and award-winning play that captures the essence of the human spirit amidst life's trials and tribulations. Join us at Hampstead Theatre for an evening of laughter, drama, and poignant truths.
