Synopsis: (from the playwright)
When Mississippi good ol’ boy and champion deer hunter, Oscar Moak, one day isn’t able to shoot, he and a very charming doe take his family on a wild ride. While Oscar shuts down, the doe coaxes him out. While Oscar’s father loses the will to fight, his mother takes home renovations into her own hands, and his devoted wife discovers adrenaline. If you’re afraid to die, does it also mean you’re afraid to live?

Language: 16+ (infrequent)
Adult Content: 16+
Violence: 16+
Pay attention to: There is simulated sexual activity between Oscar and his wife. The possible other male character is a series of voicemail messages that, according to the playwright, can be performed by the same actor live, or can be prerecorded.
Flexibility: All changes must be approved in advance.
Production Notes: No intermission. Playwright’s note on casting: The actors may be any race, though there is a lot in the play that satirizes southern white culture and accompanying toxic masculinity.Also, however, the play’s grip on reality is…loose.
Action takes place in multiple locations simultaneously. A deer head (does not need to be real or realistic) is required.
