About the Show
Killer Joe meets Thelma and Louise in this new southern-fried comedy by Lauren Gunderson
Nan is finally fed up with her abusive husband Kyle and is going to make a run for it but not until she’s duct taped him to a recliner, covered him in honey and invited the neighborhood bear in for a snack. But before she leaves, Nan is going to act out all of Kyle’s wrongdoings in front of him with a little help from her best friend Simon (acting as her emotional -- and actual -- cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart (whose stage name is Bunny). Lauren Gunderson’s gut-busting, outrageous revenge comedy is about dreams, healing, and the simple joy of duct-taping a dickhead to the living room chair.
Cap T is proud to present the regional premiere of Lauren Gunderson’s southern-fried, finger-lickin comedy starring Joey Hood as Kyle (KILLER JOE, BUG, THE ALIENS), Molly Karrasch as Nan (TIGERS BE STILL), Indigo Rael as Sweetheart and Stephen Mercantel as Simon(SPIRITS TO ENFORCE) and directed by two time Austin Critics Table Award Winning Director Mark Pickell (HUNTER GATHERERS, KILLER JOE)
“If the Coen Brothers decided to set a feminist revenge tale in Atlanta and sprinkle it with Dixie Chicks pixie dust, it might look something like Exit, Pursued by a Bear, a raucous comedy of friendship, domestic abuse and performance-as-catharsis.”
