Natural Shocks: A One Woman Play in a Tornado

by

Lauren Gunderson

An insurance agent, a gun, and a tornado walk into a basement.

It’s a comedy… Until it isn’t.

Insurance agents aren’t supposed to be funny, but what can you do except crack jokes when you’re trapped in your basement with a gun and an impending tornado? Angela is a fast-talking woman filled with mostly-true stories about her mother, her husband, and how likely you are to actually die in a tornado. Based on Hamlet's “To be or not to be,” Natural Shocks is a one-woman tour-de-force that is part confessional, part stand up, and part reckoning, spiraling towards a conclusion you’ll never forget.

Content warnings for language, blood, gun violence, and discussions of domestic violence.
