On the remote outskirts of a small Idaho town, a razor-tongued aunt and her long-estranged nephew find themselves suddenly back in each other’s orbit—two lonely souls with a crumbling house to sell and a tangled history to unravel. Bitingly funny and quietly explosive, Little Bear Ridge Road is a sharply etched portrait of two people reaching across emotional galaxies—searching for meaning and fumbling toward connection, even as they fear it might swallow them whole. In this piercing and profound new play, the void is vast, the stars are indifferent, and love—messy, human, and hard-won—might be the only thing tethering us to Earth.

Little Bear Ridge Road is produced on Broadway by Scott Rudin and Barry Diller.

Little Bear Ridge Road was commissioned by and its world premiere presented at The Steppenwolf Theatre Company (Chicago, IL) under Artistic Directors Glenn Davis and Audrey Francis and Executive Director E. Brooke Flanagan.

“At long last, Laurie Metcalf, a local hero, is back in Samuel D. Hunter’s LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD. Metcalf is considered one of the brightest lights of the American stage, and she is, indeed, extraordinary. The actress and her character are so intimately connected that it is impossible to detect any seams.
The show has too many riches to explore in this space.”

– Elisabeth Vincentelli, The New York Times

“Samuel D. Hunter’s funniest play; with piercing clarity, Mr. Hunter achieves mightily powerful effects which only enhance the tenderness and humanity of his writing.
The play resonates with hard truths about America’s frayed culture. One of the great stage actors of her generation, Laurie Metcalf is hilarious; she gives a performance of rock-steady truthfulness— you get the sense that if you touched her, you would get an electric shock. She all but rips the roof off the theater. And at the helm is the estimable Joe Mantello, who knows the art of acting as well as any director working today.”

– Charles Isherwood, Wall Street Journal
