About the Show

A chance meeting transforms two people's lives amidst enigmatic encounters.

Set in modern-day New York City, Inna Perovski, a funeral director from a Missouri small town attending a conference, encounters a mysterious stranger, Mr. Greer, during an unplanned stroll, sparking an electrifying yet intimidating interaction. Unbeknownst to them, this chance encounter will forever alter their lives, leading to a thought-provoking and unforeseen connection. Throughout the play, various vibrant New York characters hinder their exploration of unresolved life inquiries and hidden secrets, as their curiosity, disdain, and fascination for each other unravel during their walk and conversation in Central Park.

Slow, Quirky, Fluffy, Edgy, Cliched

See it if you like currently set in New York stories, portrayed by a large cast, mostly good actors, on a small stage.

Don't see it if you do not like long plays that develop the plot slowly with a lot of distractions. Most of the New Yorkers portrayed are not nice people.

Some good acting, Slow, Indulgent, Excruciating, Disappointing

See it if You like wordy plays with filler characters. The open window which let in sounds of the city added to the setting in Central Park.

Don't see it if You expect a coherent plot line with conflicts that are developed and a resolution that makes sense. Read more
