Dixon Place to Present THE MYSTERY OF PEARL STREET, Begin. 2/7
by BWW News Desk - January 14, 2014
Dixon Place has announced the world premiere of Toni Schlesinger's The Mystery Of Pearl Street based on the real life and unsolved vanishing of two struggling artists from their downtown loft. Set in the mysterious Blue Room, the playwright, performer, and journalist pursues the mysterious disappearance of the couple in 1997 from their loft near the East River on one of the oldest streets in Manhattan. The three-person play, a double mystery, is a wildly visual, psychological, and philosophical exploration of terror, romance, police procedure, money, real estate, and the city's history, from the ruthless colonists and clipper ships to the booms on Wall Street. Pearl Street is finally a story of love and loss, loss that no one saw coming--the oldest story in the book--and the Valentine's Day dinner when one could not have known what a large and horrific turn life could take.
