Sitting alone in his squalid tenement room, Buster, blind and lonely, waits anxiously for his only friend, Butch, a boastful, jive-talking product of the streets, who stops by each week to share a bottle of cheap wine

Steven Hart, in The Villager, writes: "The two are reminiscent of Didi and Gogo in Waiting For Godot except that they use their minute and waning capabilities to destroy themselves rather than being caught in a cycle of aimless repetition"

This dark urban comedy leads to even darker tragedy, when Butch, bent on revenge, sets his sights on robbing a liquor store, with blind Buster serving as the lookout

The results of this often times funny and moving rollercoaster ride sends the audience reeling into a sadness beyond belief

Successfully produced in both New York and Chicago, this disturbing, emotionally charged vaudeville of down-and-outs focuses on the comic and ultimately tragic relationship of two black men

" a marvelous discovery" ~ Dramatists Guild Quarterly

" contains a brutal honesty that can only come from the soul" ~ Inside Lincoln Park

" an intense and provocative piece a nascent dramatic talent" ~ Soho Weekly News
