I’ve known and loved Edgar and his sister, Helen, for many years. I’ve always thought his creations to be amazing works that had yet to be discovered. Now here we are! East 10th Street is a wonderful journey into Edgar’s world and has to be experienced. It’s a testament to Edgar’s storytelling ability that he can totally recreate the house on 10th Street and its inhabitants while alone, on stage, in the dark all alone. It’s a beautiful thing!!

I finally saw Edgar give this mesmerizing monologue a few nights ago, and let me tell you…It’s all true. I lived down the block, my ex lived across the street from this infamous house, and Edgar is NOT making it up. I remember walking by numerous times and seeing the ex-postman dead drunk on the small stoop, when I inquired why someone doesn’t do something to remove him, I was told he lived there! I was introduced to Edgar and Helen, and spent some time inside, late ’70’s early ’80’s. A fantastic story, told magnificently. A must see. Edgar’s sister Helen’s paintings are eerie and exquisite as well.

I’ve always found some of the best theatre does this to me – makes me cringe, then laugh, then catch myself out laughing ‘inappropriately.’

I remember seeing Ralph Richardson oh so many years ago when I was at drama school. He was playing Firs, the doddery old servant in ‘The Cherry Orchard.’ I recall laughing out loud at his silliness at the end of the play when everyone had gone, and he’d been left behind! And then he died … and I cried! Playing with your head and your heart? You bet! These are the plays I recall.

A well written and captivating review. The review alone fills me with curiosity and an empty sense of dread. It has me simultaneously hoping that I’ll get a chance to see this work and afraid that I might get that chance. “Now we want to, now we don’t.”
