Exit Pursued by a Bear

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 reenacts scenes from their painful past. In the piece de resistance, 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.

SETTING:

July 4th

A small, musty 1-bedroom house in the North Georgia mountains. The front door opens near a tiny kitchen with sticky floor and a breakfast bar. The living room has a dinner table, and a TV in the corner. Outside, trees shade the world.
