"Son, that girl, she's a nice girl, but she don't study accounting. Her lips move when she read the horoscope – that ain't the mark of a future accountant!"Since his wife died, ex-cop Walter 'Pops' Washington has filled his palatial rent-controlled apartment in one of Manhattan's most desirable areas with an oddball extended family of petty criminals. So now he's besieged by the landlords, who want him out, the NYPD, who want him to settle his lawsuit against them, and the ladies from the local church, who want to save his soul… But Pops, calm at the eye of the storm, is going to do precisely what Pops wants to do…Stephen Adly Guirgis' fast-moving Rabelaisian tragicomedy was a Broadway hit and won multiple awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.This edition was published to coincide with the UK premiere at the Hampstead Theatre, London in May 2024.
