Review: BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY, Hampstead Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - May 14, 2024

Walter Washington is stuck. Stuck in his recently deceased wife’s wheelchair. Stuck in “a rent-controlled palace ruled by a grieving despot king” that he can ill afford. Stuck waiting for City Hall to pay him what he considers his due after a thirty year-long cop career ended in a shooting incident. That’s a whole lot of stuck.
