Description
I came to New York when I was seventeen. I had all these ideas about how my life was gonna turn out. When I think about those ideas now, I don't know if I should laugh or shit.
In a back street in the West Village, Jacob Towney tries to save the restaurant that has been his home for longer than he can remember and release his daughter to the life he dreams she can have. His place is a home for the odd ghosts of the village. It is out of place and out of time and running out of luck.
This edition was published to coincide with the off-Broadway premiere at New York's Atlantic Theater, in February 2023.
