- Formerly Infernal Bridegroom Productions, the Catastrophic Theatre’s encore production of Peter Sinn Nachtrieb’s Hunter Gatherers serves up man’s inhumanity to man—with brownies.
The Catastrophic Theatre reprises ‘Hunter Gatherers’Last month, when DiverseWorks Artspace hosted the pre- and post-opening parties for Hunter Gatherers, perhaps it should have been a bit wary of serving wine. Spirits seem to be one of the driving forces behind the mayhem in Peter Sinn Nachtrieb’s acclaimed, albeit somewhat disturbing, comedy.
The Catastrophic Theatre’s artistic director, Jason Nodler, helms this expanded encore production of last year’s mini-run at Stages, with additional scenic and lighting designs, as well as script revisions from Nachtrieb himself. Those revisions center on two couples who, having shared a double wedding, traditionally celebrate their shared anniversary together each year. This much togetherness, when accompanied by “animal sacrifice, stitches, ethics committees, adultery, wine, betrayal, sex in the kitchen, more wine, more sex, and more blood” leads to a night of intense, thought-provoking entertainment.
The Catastrophic Theatre’s company members Amy Bruce, Greg Dean, and Troy Schulze return to their previous roles bringing to the fore homoerotic wresting, menstruation, and erotic asphyxiation (among other challenging topics not generally associated with comedy), with Shelley Calene-Black stepping into the role previously played by Charlesann Rabensburg.
Amid the harshness of Hunter Gatherers’ themes, a flower blooms: because folks on a budget need culture as much as the richies do, especially in this currently harsh economic climate, ticket prices to all performances are generously designated as “pay what you can.” Cheers!
Through July 17, 8 p.m., at DiverseWorks Artspace, 1117 East Freeway. For tickets or more information, log on to www.catastrophictheatre.com or call 713/522-2723. —Nancy Ford
