BEHOLD, THE BOWERY! is a drama/musical period piece set in early 20th century Manhattan when, according to one account, a man could stand on Houston Street with a shotgun, fire in any direction and not risk killing an honest man. BEHOLD, THE BOWERY! follows two of these "honest" men; one, an actor-cum-conman who owes an arm and a leg to a dangerous gangster, and the other, a Polish immigrant driven out of desperation to kill for pay. In between these two stories are prostitutes, a two-faced Master of Ceremonies, a line of dancing girls, Bowery bums, saw-dust covered bar-rooms, police corruption, murder, betrayal, humor, lively music and a man named "Dead Horse" Owney Driscoll.
