A Production of UM-Flint Fine & Performing Arts: Exit, Pursued by a Bear
A Production of UM-Flint Fine & Performing Arts
Nan 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 tapes Kyle to a chair and forces him to watch as they reenact scenes from their painful past. For the grand finale, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy about marriage, friendship, love, betrayal, taking a stand, and revenge that’s surprisingly uplifting, with a touch of delightfully overplanned, overthought and overdramatic vengeance.
