The Tony Award-winning play featuring two elderly men who spend their days sitting on a bench.
Story:
I’m Not Rappaport takes place under a bridge in Central Park, where two octogenarians – one white, one black – meet regularly, determined to fight off all attempts to put them out to pasture. Nat is a cantankerous Communist whose daughter is urging him into the old folks’ home. Midge, an apartment superintendent spends his days in the park hiding in the past, and hiding from his disgruntled tenants.
Fun Fact
The show's title comes from an old vaudeville joke, a variation of which evolved into dialogue between the two protagonists.
