THE VOICE IN THE ROOM

David Peel died April 6, 2017. His voice didn't.

Nine years later, the voice returns to SoHo. Not a hologram. Not a tribute band. The actual voice — fifty-five rants about rent and cops and marijuana and Lennon and the corner where he played for fifty years — through the speakers, with documentary images projected on the wall. The audience sits in a room with a dead man who won't shut up.

That's the show.

"They're throwing me a party. Nine years dead and somebody's putting my name on a flyer."
— David Peel, Rant #29

THE CATALOG

• 42 street corner rants — from Forty Pages (the FBI file) to The Back Room at Max's (the bar where Warhol held court)
• 5 Letters to John — written to Lennon, read aloud from the corner
• The music — Have a Marijuana (1968), The Pope Smokes Dope (1972, produced by Lennon), I Like Marijuana, and more

THE DATE

April 19, 2026 — 4/20 weekend. Thirteen days after the ninth anniversary of Peel's death. SoHo, New York City. Details TBA.
