Capital T presents

Directed by Mark Pickell

Sound Design by Adam Hilton

Costume Design by Cheryl Painter

Extended thru November 13th

Thursday-Saturday at 8pm

Hyde Park Theatre 511 W 43rd St

Pam and Richard are hosting their best friends, Wendy and Tom, for their annual dinner get-together. An animal sacrifice kicks off the evening, followed by a little more sex, violence, deception, revelations, wrestling and dancing than previous years. A darkly comic evening where the line between civilized and primal man is blurred, and where not everyone will survive long enough to enjoy the brownies for dessert.

‎”HUNTER GATHERERS is fast-paced, aggressive, and yes, often VERY FUNNY”

You put these four characters together and, hells yes, hilarity will ensue. You put these particular actors in those roles, and that hilarity will ensue with professional skill and verve…Bradley, particularly, who is quickly becoming Capital T’s Not-So-Secret-Weapon-of-Vigorous-Stagecraft, unleashes his inner Neanderthal to raucous, laugh-inducing effect…all four actors work the material with ease and sweet timing…And, yeah, it’s a hoot.

“A hilarious and unforgettable theatrical experience…There are plays that hit with the power a lightning bolt, striking suddenly and out of nowhere, igniting the air with excitement and leaving the audience dumbstruck. Peter Sinn Nachtrieb’s Hunter Gatherers is one such play…From this rich soil, Pickell and his fine ensemble grow a bizarre and intricate piece of flora, which weaves its vines around the audience and doesn’t relinquish its hold until the violent, bloody, sexually charged finale.”
– Austin Theatre Examiner
