Zink - the Myth the Legend the Zebra - Standard Version
2 Male, 9 Female
Cherie Bennett Price: $8.25
Commissioned by First Stage Milwaukee, Zink is about
true courage in the face of unpredictable predators
In an age where too many are quick to confront fears and differences with senseless violence, Zink exemplifies the importance of tolerance and acceptance
Imaginative, funny, and heartbreaking, this allegory features a pre-teen girl with leukemia and a herd of talking African zebras whom she meets when she is diagnosed with her life-threatening illness
The zebras include street-smart Ice Z, grandfatherly Papa Zeke and pompous Zilch, along with Shlep, a furry green monkey who’s certain he’s also a zebra
The zebras recount to her their legend of Zink, a mythical polka-dotted zebra once an outcast but later a hero
As Becky’s condition worsens and she is mistreated by some classmates, she zaps back and forth between real life and the zebra world, until the shattering, breathtaking, and uplifting climax
Never maudlin, Zink is a “clear case of theatrical
risks bringing great rewards” ~ Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
