WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
From the company who brought the sold-out hit The Shape of a Girl to the New Vic in 2005, Cranked is an eye-opening and compelling look at lost dreams and unrealized ambitions. With intense spoken word, edgy hip-hop flair and pulsing rhythms from a live DJ, the artistic and inventive Cranked shares the story of Stan's spiraling descent into crystal meth addiction. Starring one-man phenomenon Kyle Cameron, Cranked induces "raging applause, tears of understanding, hoots of approval, and standing ovations" (The Vancouver Province). More than "Just Say No," Cranked, the winner of two 2006 Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards (Best Original Music Composition and Outstanding Original Script), is a stellar theatrical depiction of a frightening new epidemic.

Michael P. Northey's smartly written Cranked, now at the Duke on 42nd Street, is a cautionary solo show about the dangers of crystal methadone. As one can tell, this is not the kind of fare one expects as a New Victory Theatre offering, which usually produces lighter family-friendly fare. And placing this intense 45-minute show in the confines of the more intimate Duke smartly allows this show, which uses Hip Hop and spoken word to sell its message, a real chance to flourish.
A worthwhile experience for both teens -- as well as somewhat older theatergoers -- Cranked is the fictional story of a young man named Stan (Kyle Cameron) waiting in the wings of a freestyle Hip Hop competition about [...]
