Danny Aiello's raspy voice is even raspier than usual. He is suffering from vocal strain. Nevertheless, he is excited to talk about his current project, Susan Charlotte's "The Shoemaker," in which he plays the title role, a character who reaches high emotional levels. It's not surprising his voice is tired. Now running Off-Broadway at Theatre Row's Acorn Theatre, the play is set on Sept. 11, 2001, and recounts the tormented experiences of a shoemaker, an Italian Jewish Holocaust survivor (Aiello), encountering two disparate women (Alma Cuervo, Lucy DeVito), who unwittingly force him to confront the ghosts of his past along with his horror in the immediate wake of the terrorist attacks."The Shoemaker" has journeyed from one-act play reading to a film short ("A Broken Sole") to its current two-act staged incarnation, and Aiello has been with it every step of the way, delighted to be reprising the fleshed-out role on.
