Theatre Exile’s season opener is the Philadelphia premiere of Hunter Gatherers by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb. Richard, Pam, Wendy and Tom have been the “Fab Four” since prom night 17 years ago. Even through the bedlam of being 30-something, successful urban professionals, the two married couples still find time between the Reiki sessions, novel writing and organic food shopping to gather for a yearly dinner of remembering their glory days. As the smell of their freshly killed dinner fills the room, their culturally savvy world is threatened by the animal instincts that lurk inside every sophisticated scenester. A pack must have its leader, and only the strongest will survive. “Nachtrieb’s bitingly hilarious black comedy spares neither savages nor saints” (LA Times). Armed with razor-sharp language, complex characters and a stunning sense of the theatrical, Peter Sinn Nachtrieb takes the world of Edward Albee to the next level.
