what the papers say
'Trieschmann shows a precise understanding of the female heart...A play of immense psychological shrewdness.'
Guardian
'This is a classic Bush play - a study of adolescence that prompts plenty of sympathetic laughs. It's hard to imagine that Mike Bradwell's production could ever be bettered, or the performances of Amanda Hale (Laney), Suzan Sylvester (Elise) and Debbie Chazen (Maribel).'
Time Out
'There's a delicious satirical naughtiness as well as warmth about Crooked.
What's lovely about Mike Bradwell's production is its studio intimacy - with just white clapboard walls as a backdrop - combined with some very fine acting. In particular, Chazen manages to be ludicrously weird yet extraordinarily lovable, with a sexually frisky nature bubbling up through her rote about sin and the Devil.'
