Marin Theatre Company to Digitally Premiere 'The Catastrophist,' a New Play About Pandemics
Local playwright Lauren Gunderson has written a new one-man play about "virus hunter" Nathan Wolfe and his prognostications about the economic impact of a pandemic before this one began. And now it's set to premiere virtually via the Marin Theatre Company this month.
Gunderson, whose one-woman show
Natural Shocks has been available to hear a radio play via Marin Theatre Company after its in-person premiere was canceled due to the pandemic last March, is actually married to Wolfe, and she says it hadn't occurred to her to write a play about him or his work until recently, for obvious reasons.
