Crooked

The Flight Deck
1540 Broadway Oakland

"A gem of a discovery" (The New York Times), "gorgeous almost beyond belief" (The London Times) -- critics have been thumbing their thesauruses to find the right combination of words to describe Catherine Trieschmann's powerful play Crooked, now in its Bay Area premiere from Virago Theatre Company. At its heart, Crooked is the story of Laney, a 14-year-old girl who comes with her recently divorced mother to Oxford, Mississippi. Feisty and imaginative, Laney is an otherwise typical teen, even if her angst is compounded by a muscle disorder that disfigures her posture. Her life changes when she meets Maribel, the deeply religious daughter of an evangelical preacher. Their unlikely and severely tested friendship provides the platform for Laney's struggle to understand the world ... and herself. Crooked is directed by Virago co-founder Robert Lundy-Paine, the visionary behind Virago hits Zombie Vixens From Hell: The Musical, Mankind's Last Hope and many others.
