THE STORY: Edgar Oliver weaves a fantastical and hilarious voyage through the dark and strange rooms of his East Village tenement building, inhabited by a dwarf cabalist, a possible Nazi, the landlord's former wet nurse and other memorable persons. Edgar leads the audience up to the final room, his own, at the top of the derelict stairs, wherein lie the secrets of his family and the unbelievable odyssey that brought him there.
