The Perfect Relationship In Bushwick

Adrian Crawford's new play The Perfect Relationship In Bushwick is having its World Premiere as part of the 2026 Broadway Bound Theatre Festival now through Sunday August 2nd at AMT Theater in NYC. Set in the heart of Bushwick the production is directed by Juan Ramirez, Jr. Crawford stated, “I am a proud lifelong Brooklynite, having been born, raised & continuously resided here for 47 years. Currently, I make my home in the vibrant community of East Flatbush. My family's roots in Brooklyn run deep; my father immigrated from Guyana, South America, in 1968, followed by my mother in 1971. This rich, multicultural heritage has significantly shaped my perspective & experiences. Setting The Perfect Relationship In Bushwick, in Bushwick allowed me to explore themes of identity, belonging & the complexities of human connection against a backdrop that is both rapidly gentrifying & deeply rooted as an area mostly consisted Latino residents back in 80’s & 90’s. I wanted to capture the pulse of a neighborhood that embodies so much of what Brooklyn represents – a place of dreams & challenges.” The play features Carli Mejia-Vasquez, Brian Uceta, Natalia Peguero, Rafa Pérez, & Juan Pablo Toro & is about Carmelo & Elisendo who swear they’re just roommates despite living like a bickering married couple in a shabby sublet but when a trick they both slept with & their nosy landlord stir the pot the men’s denials fall apart revealing a tension neither has dared name & a bond more certain than the rent they can barely afford.
