About the show
Isle of Shoals Productions, Inc. revives this musical fable about an extraordinary everyman, his lethal nemesis, and the ordinary people trying to cope with the aftermath of September 11. More…
It's Christmas Eve, 2002 at the doomed Tower Diner near Ground Zero. The loyal staff and eccentric regulars gather to raise one final toast before the wrecking ball strikes. A mysterious stranger enters. He seems to be a firefighter with no memory of who he is, but a preternatural ability to unearth the secrets of those he encounters.
