This thickly humid July 3rd Nan is finishing what she started a year ago: the annihilation of her husband and the cage-breaking resuscitation of her own life using her friends, her idolization of Jimmy Carter and the local wildlife. Part “I Love Lucy”, part Jacobean revenge tragedy, part beautiful ballet, part nature special and part feminist power ballad set in the North Georgia mountains. Exit is not over till the bears are in pursuit. Exit, Pursued by a Bear is a play based on one violent stage direction*. Likewise, our heroine will sacrifice it all to get out in this hilariously brutal modern revenge comedy. *The Winter’s Tale by Shakespeare. New to the Bay Area, we are sure to see more of Lauren Gunderson in the coming year with commissions from Marin Theatre Company and South Coast Rep!
