Actors Collaborative Toledo will present “Natural Shocks,” by Lauren Gunderson, at the Toledo Rep Theatre Feb. 5-7.
Inspired by the words of Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy, Gunderson’s “Natural Shocks” is 60-minute, one-woman tour-de-force play that features Angela, who’s waiting out an approaching tornado in her basement. She brims over with quirks, stories, and confessions. As the real danger grows imminent, she reveals a final secret that brings the reality of guns in America into sharp focus.
