The Crackwalker March 12, 2010

LSU Lab Theatre presents 'The Crackwalker' by Judith Thompson, directed by John Mabry. Theresa, who is worshipped by her boyfriend, is a mentally challenged woman who is extremely sexy, but can never lose her innocence. She does tricks at $5 each, is addicted to Tim Horton donuts, lies without thinking and overflows with endless kindness. Thompson's play is a tough, brilliant account Theresa and three other down-and-outers in Kingston, Ontario. A peripheral fifth character, a destroyed Native youth, is introduced to show us that even this quartet is not quite the bottommost stratum of society.
