In the shadow of a bridge in Central Park, two octogenarians, one white and one black, meet regularly, determined to fight off all attempts to put them out to pasture. Lifetime radical and world-class kibitzer Nat Moyer's daughter is urging him into an old folk's home. He spends his afternoons spinning outrageous yarns that both intrigue and infuriate fellow octogenarian Midge Carter, a half-blind building superintendent who spends his days in the park hiding both from his past and from his disgruntled tenants. They share a Central Park bench, and with sly verbal sparring and indomitable spirits, these irritable heroes square off against drug dealers, enlightened children, posh tenants and, ultimately, time itself. It is a refreshing comedy that is hilarious, poignant and always enjoyable.
