Her lips move when she read the horoscope – that ain't the mark of a future accountant!"Since his wife died, ex-cop Walter 'Pops' Washington has filled his palatial rent-controlled apartment in one of Manhattan's most desirable areas with an oddball extended family of petty criminals.

His other plays include Jesus Hopped the A-Train, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot and The Motherf**ker with the Hat.This edition was published to coincide with the UK premiere at the Hampstead Theatre, London in May 2024.
