THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, APT. 3W

Gabriel Brownstein links nine short stories about peculiar people living in a New York apartment building. Scott Brick's performance is up to his usual high standards, though the occasional new voice is a welcome change. All in all, the different actors work well together and strengthen the sometimes loose ties that bind the stories. The actors, especially old pro Scott Brick, bring the characters to life. The repentant mentally ill son who has turned his apartment into a museum to the parents he disrespected when they were alive, the threatening proctologist, the lawyer who abandons his family, and even a dead man who tells his own story are pieces in this fascinating quilt of tales.
