* DomesticAbuser: Kyle has hit Nan multiple times in the past, as well as calling her bitch and forcing her to do things she's obviously incredibly uncomfortable with, like bleeding an illegally shot deer for dinner when her passion is for animals, as well as emotionally toying with her and telling her he loves her and needs her when she tries to make a stand for herself.

''Exit, Pursued by a Bear,'' a revenge comedy by Lauren Gunderson, explores the relationship between an abused woman and her husband as she decides to turn the tables and give him a taste of his own medicine. Nan knocks Kyle out, ties him to a chair, and forces him to watch as she and and her two best friends re-enact the history of their relationship. Her script includes a grand finale - before she leaves, slather the house in honey and meat, and let Kyle wait for the bears to come. Of course, sometimes live theater doesn't always go exactly according to plan...
