Akron, OH – The Bang and The Clatter Theatre Company announces the Ohio Premier opening of Bug, by Tracy Letts, featuring: Kelly McIvor, Justin Tatum, Jen Klika, Mark Mayo, and Andrew Nartan.

Directed by co-founding artistic/managing director, Sean Derry, and assistant directed by Alanna Romansky, Bug is a bizarre love story, ‘one that moves beyond these lost souls’ tortured union and into modern ideas of conspiracies, post war insanity, disease, infected blood and the kind of paranoia that can spread like wildfire once the flame is (quite literally) ignited…it balances realistic, literal psychological horror with metaphorical meaning with small punches of satirical wit.’ ~Kim Morgan, Sunset Gun

“…a riveting thriller of paranoia and an instant guilty pleasure.”
~The Hollywood Reporter

“…a thoroughly outrageous and thoroughly entertaining play…the possibilities of enemies, real and imagined, to squash  has never been more theatrical.”
~Associated Press

“…obscenely exciting…top-flight craftsmanship. Buckle up and brace yourself…”
~The New York Times

“…a wonderfully lurid new thriller…”
~the Star-Ledger
