It's freshman year of college and Lexi's life is falling apart. Ever since the mysterious death of her high school best friend, Lexi has found herself stalked by a tall, dark, hook-handed stranger who has been seriously cramping her style. In this existential slasher comedy, Lexi learns what it means to grow up and it's not pretty.
Playwright Lauren Yee describes Hookman as "a strange comedic riff on the horror genre, or perhaps an existential slasher comedy." Lisa Steindler, co-artistic director of Encore Theatre, elaborates, "While a comedy, Hookman is also a meditation on grief. It explores the question of what happens when we lose those closest to us and how we deal with such loss."
Encore Theatre's recent productions include the critically acclaimed and award-winning Hundred Days, a collaboration with Z Space Circle Mirror Transformation, a collaboration with Marin Theatre Company and The Totalitarians, presented with Z Space. Since the conclusion of its residency at the Thick House in San Francisco in 2007, Encore Theatre has partnered with some of the most highly esteemed theater companies in the Bay Area to produce consistently challenging and entertaining work by talented, new playwrights.
