An intriguing play "Last of the Whyos"

Watched an experimental play " Last of the Whyos" about Eddie Farrell, king of the Whyos gang in 1880s New York, who slipped through time and landed on the beach at Coney Island one hundred years in the future. Pulled into a sideshow world, he confronted his future self. The dreamy scenes reminded me of the movie "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" about a good guy Eddie tried to save a little girl at Coney Island theme park, rather trying to kill the same girl after 100 yrs like in the play.


The good Eddie was killed and sent to heaven, where he encounters five people who significantly impacted him while he was alive.
