“A Haunting play of lost souls...”

The story takes place at 722 Toulouse Street, a rundown boarding house in the French Quarter of New Orleans circa 1938. There a young writer becomes involved in the lives of the landlady, Mrs. Wire, and her various tenants.

The action is concerned with interlocking lives of the various residents: a tubercular, homosexual painter; a doomed young girl and her coarse lover; two aging “ladies” living in near poverty; and the eccentric irrepressible landlady, who veers from cruelty to sentiment in her treatment of her charges.

Filled with evocative memories, and sharply etched portraits of its singular characters, what makes these folks stand out is their quiet dignity. These are people who cover their pain and loneliness with smooth small talk. They make the best of whatever harsh hand fate has dealt them....
