WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Secret Agenda of Trees is set in a rural community in the backwoods of America where escape and fantasy substitute for hope: a tattered bond holds together Veronica, a 13-year-old who survives on a dream-life filled with Rosemary Clooney and Veronica Lake, and her mother, who dulls the pain of work at a slaughterhouse with booze and meth. As Veronica develops a dubious crush on a tattooed boy from study hall, and her mother invites a mysterious stranger into their ramshackle home, the cycles of dependency become increasingly dangerous and holding the world at bay may prove impossible.

RE:go see The Secret Agenda of Trees
I have lived in Manhattan for over 15 years now and I always take pride in the fact that small village theatres can put out some pretty upstanding performances that rival the bigger productions and this one is a perfect example. My girlfriend, who is knew to the city was thoroughly impressed as well and Reyna de Courcy as the daughter Veronica stole my girlfriends heart. We are planning to see it again, we both loved it and were moved by it. Addiction can manifest itself in many other ways other than narcotics so the play speaks to a variety of audiences. The emotion of the production was powerful. Go see this if you have the opportunity.

Feeling too often like an episode of The Jerry Springer Show, Colin McKenna's melodramatic The Secret Agenda of Trees, now at the Wild Project, takes audiences into rural America, where hope and opportunity are in short supply. Theoretically, it's a play that should open New York theatergoers' eyes to the concerns of the working class poor in the hinterlands, but instead, it makes one long to close them.
The play takes place in and around the tiny house that Maggie (Lillian Wright) shares with her teenage daughter Veronica (Reyna de Courcy). Maggie bolsters her dreary existence in a local meat plant with trips to local bars and the occasional pipe of crystal meth. When Jack (Michael Tisd[...]
