Hookman

Z Space
450 Florida St. San Francisco

Freshman year at college sucks for Lexi, a West Coast girl at an East Coast university, who's homesick, hates her roommate and whose best friend from high school was recently murdered by a hook-handed serial killer. This clever contemporary comedy explores what it's like these days to be a young female in a dangerous world, while also dealing with the loss of a BFF. Hookman comes from the pen of San Francisco's own hot young playwright Lauren Yee, who's been racking up the awards with quirky works like Ching Chong Chinaman, The Hatmaker's Wife, Crevice and others. Encore Theater stages the world premiere of her newest "quasi horror/comedy" at Z Below.
