EAST 10TH STREET:

Self Portrait With Empty House Written and Performed by Edgar Oliver
Brian Barnhart, Axis Theatre, Richard Jordan Productions Ltd in association with David Elliott
UK Premiere

As I was walking in front of an 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.
