Carl Overly, Jr. has made his directorial debut with the St. Louis premier of The Motherf**ker with the Hat by Stephen Adly Guirgis at R-S Theatrics, and it is an effort to be applauded.

It has been described as a 'high-octane verbal cage match about love, fidelity, and misplaced haberdashery,' and it is all of that and more.
