Each month, Theater of the Apes plucks a long forgotten volume from the shelves of the New York Society Library to resurrect as a one-night-only NYC variety show.

COMING UP: New York: The Nation’s Metropolis by Peter Marcus (1921)

From the book: WATCHING MANHATTAN as the boat comes near its shore, one seems to come under the spell of its incalculable weight, its stupendous mass of iron, brick and stone. It is oppressive, ominous. One feels the past, the present and the future; and the tremendous forces which must have worked together to produce this titanic offspring, to have spawned this mountain of precipices. One feels the hidden activity, the pitiless struggle going on beneath; yet a few puffs of smoke are all that betray the smouldering of the mighty fires. One lets one's mind sink into the vast depths between, to see little humanity running here and there like ants amid the tangle of wires, tunnels and pipes. Little humanity that built it all.

Hosted by Queen of the Apes, Ayun Halliday (No Touch Monkey! / East Village Inky)
