This is the his­to­ry of a 1931 NYC love tri­an­gle– turned mur­der­ous and sui­ci­dal – that marked the con­ver­gence of three major Gotham fam­i­lies. New York City Love Tri­an­gle, 1931 involves top politi­cians (in the Demo­c­ra­t­ic and Repub­li­can par­ties), a painter who stud­ied at the Art Stu­dents League of New York and had her first solo show on West 57th Street at the age of just 24, and the lothario son of the most famous Yid­dish actor in the world (Dr. Mil­ton Thomashef­sky, scion of thes­pi­an Boris Thomashef­sky, who ruled the Yid­dish Rial­to of the Bow­ery and Sec­ond Avenue at the turn of the cen­tu­ry).

It’s a deep-dive into the gen­er­a­tional, fas­ci­nat­ing ori­gins of these lovers, a look into how they ever could have become so enmeshed and at odds, an explo­ration of the cat­a­clysm, a most vio­lent col­li­sion, and its rip­pling after­math to this very day.
