Too many one-person shows on the fringe seem to have come about through reasons of economy, or from the performer's desire to share their personal pain with the world. Few seem as if the form really emerged from the content. But this one does. Alice Eve Cohen lived for many years in a run-down New York apartment block . Here she gives us a glimpse into the lives of some of the residents. They are mere fragments, yet somehow amount to a much greater whole - a snapshot of heaving humanity. It is as if the thin walls of the apartment block are giving up their secrets, and in the process ghosts walk.
These are stories of everyday life - marriages, babies, divorces and people just struggling to get by. Cohen plays all the characters and makes you feel that you really know them: big, clumsy Marie who wants to sing, Mady, the janitor's wife, whose tiny windowless flat makes her feel she has lived in a cave, goofy teenager Tom, and Tadeucz, who loves from afar. If I met Cohen in the street, I'd want to gossip with her about these people. A little show, but with such a big, embracing heart.
