NOW CIRCA THEN follows the story of two historical re-enactors, history buff and New York native Gideon and the thoroughly modern Margie, a new-comer to the city, who work together at the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The two play Julian and Josephine Glockner, a pulled-from-the-records, real-life immigrant couple from Prussia. The tenement is their home in the New World - at the top of the play, they have just arrived and the real-life and seemingly opposite Gideon and Margie, have just met.
