Based on Hamlet’s “To be or not to be,” NATURAL SHOCKS is a 65-minute, one-woman tour-de-force play that bursts to life when we meet a woman waiting out an imminent tornado in her basement. She overflows with quirks, stories, and a final secret that puts the reality of guns in America in your very lap. The play is part confessional, part stand up, and part reckoning.
Lauren Gunderson has been named America’s Most Produced Playwright by American Theatre magazine in 2018. As she told American Theatre Magazine just after the 2016 election, “The communal embrace of theatre was always an ancient way of processing politics, society, and great change. I believe it still is.” https://www.naturalshocks.org/
