Kurt Weill's musical play takes place on the doorstep of a housing estate on the East Side of Manhattan on a hot Spring day in 1946. It deals with the ordinary squabbles and gossips of the neighbours, but the mounting tensions between the irritable characters eventually builds, and a tragedy of epic proportions ensues.
