Theresa is sexy, seductive, and mentally challenged. Worshipped by her boyfriend, she turns tricks at $5, is addicted to Tim Hortons doughnuts, lies without thinking, and overflows with endless kindness, but she continues to hold on to her limitless innocence. A tough, brilliant play about Theresa and three other down-and-outers in Kingston, The Crackwalker captures the music, the dialect, and the unpretty realities of the inner-city.
First shocking Canadian audiences three decades ago, Thompson's striking portrayal of the discarded sub-proletariat in Canada continues to move audiences today. Commemorating the play's thritieth anniversary, this new edition includes a new introduction from Judith Thompson and an unpublished alternate ending. With these unpredictable characters and with her shattering insights, The Crackwalker proves why Thompson's work has become a staple in Canadian theatre.
