Retired (i.e., “failed”) actors Tim and Flora, a married couple, now find themselves caretakers of Tim’s demanding and cantankerous Aunt Rosamunde. An idle conversation one afternoon in which they jokingly talk about murdering the old woman gradually becomes an actual plan, one that might succeed if the aunt’s suspicious attorney Clarissa and a local grocery delivery boy Emory don’t prove to be game-changers.

For our heroine, Joy, her story is a familiar one – a small town girl leaves home, and tries to make it in the big city. Except Joy’s story begins at the end, where we find her standing at a ballet barre in a pool of blood – murdered. NEW YORK CITY 523 is a whodunit hybrid play, which combines naturalism with impressionistic dialogue, choral work, fantasy, story theatre, and at the same time, incorporates movement elements and dance directly into the narrative. So put on your red shoes and dance the blues!
