The Klunch Presents the World Premiere of LAURA BUSH KILLED A GUY

Laura Bush is an enigma wrapped in another enigma. She's shy, beautiful, bookish, and in 1963, she blew through a stop sign and killed a guy. It was probably just an accident. Or maybe, just maybe... it was murder. Join Mrs. Bush for this hilarious and heartfelt evening of real-life reminiscences of her childhood in Texas (untrue?), of her marriage to George W. Bush (a sham?), and of their rapid ascent to the very pinnacle of world power (an abomination?).

Veteran DC director John Vreeke (Guards at the Taj, Detroit, The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide..., Gruesome Playground Injuries) teams up with Lisa Hodsoll, who'll play Laura in the one-woman show, following her acclaimed turn in Venue 13's A Fool's Paradise: 30 Shakespeare Scenes in 60 Minutes at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival this past summer. Hodsoll was nominated for a Helen Hayes Award for Theater Alliance's The Wonderful World of Dissocia. This world premiere production, written by iconoclastic Klunch artistic director Ian Allen (Angel Shit, Baked Baby, "Kenneth, What Is the Frequency?"), shines a light (headlights!) on the intersection of fact and fiction - a topic more timely than ever - as the memories fade, and the Bushes are starting to look like, well, maybe they weren't so bad after all.
