A strange play, where a young girl with a crooked back who comes from a broken family meets a young girl who is overweight who comes from a Christian family. Salvation ensues...or does it? The play pits the young Christian against a secular mother, and the daughter feels caught in between, so she decides to do what she can to distress her mother. Things come to a head when secrets are revealed and lies are told; the ending is...peculiar. It is disturbing, but that isn't what lost it half a star. It feels unfinished, not in the way that is a good, satisfying non-ending to a play, but in the way that feels like the writer just hit a roadblock and said, "I'll come back tomorrow and finish that"...and then tomorrow forgot to come back and finish, and instead submitted the work and someone picked it up. Non-ending endings can be sublime; this one is just unfinished. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
'Coming-of-age drama with sideways glance at evangelical and Sapphic love. ''I mean, the fact that Jesus chose to turn the water into wine, rather than just decontaminating it, proves that drinking alcohol is not a sin.'' Fourteen-year-old Laney arrives in Oxford, Mississippi, an outsider with a twisted back and only her writing to keep her company. When she befriends the hapless born-again Maribel, Laney''s penchant for story-telling soon spirals out of control. A hilarious chain of events is set in motion, sparking a spiritual and sexual journey that infuriates her mother and threatens to tear their fragile world apart. A gloriously sideways glance at evangelical and Sapphic love way down south, Crooked premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, 3 May 2006. ''a work of warped loveliness, directed with exquisite delicacy and acted with tenderness and wit . . . Gorgeous almost beyond belief.'' Times ''a play of immense psychological shrewdness'' Guardian ''delicious satirical naughtiness'' Independent on Sunday' No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
