Described as, a study of lives in collision, Jackie and Veronica have been lovers since high school and are as hooked on each other as they are on alcohol and bad habits. Their love is wild and all consuming, but it suits them both perfectly–until Jackie spots another man’s hat in their apartment. Recently released from prison, Jackie’s quest to track down “the motherfucker with the hat” threatens to put him right back where he started. Poetic, profane, and thoroughly hilarious, The Motherfucker With the Hat is a foul-mouthed look at modern love and other addictions.
The Toronto company for The Motherfucker With the Hat, boasts a unique combination of established theatre titans and emerging theatre artists such as Juan Chioran (Cabaret, The Philadelphia Story/Shaw Festival), Melissa D’Agostino (Lupe Undone), Sergio Di Zio (Léo/Tarragon; Flashpoint/CTV), Ted Dykstra (2 Pianos, 4 Hands; Evangleine/Charlottetown Festival), and Nicole Stamp (Better Parts/Theatre Passe Muraille), directed by Layne Coleman (True/Toronto Fringe Festival; Hooked/Theatre Passe Muraille).
Playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis is an off-Broadway whiz kid with such hits at The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train, and Our Lady of 121st Street. The Motherfucker With the Hat, his Broadway debut, was nominated for six 2011 Tony Awards, including Best Play, and played a total of 28 previews and 112 regular performances.
Wall Street Journal described it as “a tough-minded, unromantically romantic comedy that keeps you laughing, then sends you home thinking.”
