WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Mary-Louise Burke and Ana Gasteyer star in Kimberly Akimbo, the latest work by playwright David Lindsey-Abaire. Set in the wilds of suburban New Jersey, this hilarious and heartrending play centers around a teenager with a rare condition causing her body to age at an increased rate. When she and her family flee Secaucus under dubious circumstances, Kimberly is forced to reevaluate her life while
contending with a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a scam-artist aunt, her own mortality and, most terrifying of all, the possibility of first love. David Petrarca directs.

The good news is that the latest effort of the writer who might become this generation's American Alan Ayckbourn is just as tight as were his previous two works at MTC: the hit Fuddy Meers and the less successful Wonder of the World.
Yet one can't help but notice a pattern. The Kimberly o[...]
