Exit, Pursued by a Bear by Lauren Gunderson
Inspired by Shakespeare's stage direction in The Winter's Tale, Lauren Gundersons Exit, pursued by a bear is about Nan, who has decided to teach her abusive husband Kyle a lesson. With the help of her friend Simon (acting as her emotional -- and actual -- cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart, she forces Kyle to watch as they reenact scenes from their painful past. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy.
