Review: BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY at The Gamm Theatre
by Christopher Verleger - Feb 20, 2025
We all know the saying, “A man’s home is his castle,” and sometimes there is no telling what an individual will do to protect what they consider to be their own safe haven and private space. In Gamm Theatre’s captivating production of Stephen Adly Guirgis’s powerful, gritty, Pulitzer Prize-winning play, ‘Between Riverside and Crazy,’ Walter “Pops” Washington is the quintessential example of a man who, despite his age and declining health, holds reign over his marked territory like a lion in the wild that won’t hesitate to ward off any trespasser with force.
