Hookman by Lauren Yee at Bump in the Night Theatre

This May, Bump in the Night Theatre, Chicago’s Horror Theatre, is proud to present Hookman by Lauren Yee. Opening May 15th at Bramble Arts Loft, this shockingly relatable show gives a peek into the impact of grief and trauma while leaving plenty of room for bizarre humor and delicious violence.

Freshman year at college is hard when your roommate is weird, you’re feeling homesick, and a hook-handed serial killer is slashing girls’ throats. But if Lexi can discover what really happened to her high school best friend on that car ride to the movies, everything will be okay. In this existential slasher comedy, Lexi and her friends learn what it means to grow up – and it’s not pretty.
