About Kimberly AKIMBO
By David Lindsay-Abaire, Directed by Kiki Tovey
Kimberly Levaco is a teenage girl who suffers from a condition similar to progeria, causing her to age rapidly and appear much older than her actual age. About to turn 16, she is physically an elderly woman due to her condition, forcing her to navigate a world that doesn’t understand her. She has a dysfunctional family with a hypochondriac mother, a sometimes-drunk father, and a scam-artist aunt, all of whom add to her challenges.
Kimberly experiences a first crush and finds friendship, but her unique situation complicates these relationships. Ever the optimist, she is determined to find happiness against all odds and embark on a great adventure. This is a story about appreciating life no matter what it throws at you.
Kimberly Akimbo has been praised for its ability to blend humor and heart, offering a poignant and relatable story about finding happiness and meaning in the face of life’s challenges.
“Kimberly Akimbo is at once a shrewd satire, a black comedy and a heartbreaking study of how time wounds everyone.” —The New York Time
