About Exit, Pursued by a Bear

After years of abuse, Nan has finally had enough of her husband Kyle. She crafts an insane plan and enlists the help of her friend Simon, a stripper named Sweetheart and a roll of duct tape. Kyle is soon forced to witness reenactments of their painful past — under the threat of a bear attack.

This smart, dark revenge comedy by Lauren Gunderson takes a Shakespearean stage direction and runs with it. Hilarious, poignant and wickedly empowering, the play sees Nan free herself from the past in acts of wild revenge.
