Meet the Direct*r
Jolie Oliver brings a keen eye for raw, authentic storytelling to THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT, a play that masterfully balances humor, heartache, and human contradictions. With a deep appreciation for the rhythm and honesty of everyday life, Jolie aims to peel back the layers of Stephen Adly Guirgis’ work, guiding audiences through an immersive journey that challenges perceptions and fosters empathy.
The St*ry
Jackie, fresh out of prison, enrolled in Alcoholics Anonymous, and newly employed, spots a mysterious hat in the room he shares with his high school girlfriend, Veronica . . . that ain’t his hat! All h*ll breaks loose when Jackie accuses Veronica of having an affair that she strongly denies. Jackie’s attempts to resolve his relationship woes by involving his AA sponsor and cousin, only serves to expand the chaos.
This sharp, hilarious, and deeply engaging play dives into the lives of people within a unique American subculture, exposing how they navigate the messy, raw realities of personal relationships. At some point, we’ve all been there: trusting, only to feel betrayed; depending on someone, only to feel abandoned; loving, only to see it fade—or worse, turn into indifference.
The story entertains while challenging us to confront our cultural biases, questioning why we so easily judge others in different subcultures as not just wrong, but inherently bad. Our 2025 revival of THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT hits harder than ever, demanding we reflect on our shared humanity in a fractured world. It’s a must-see for today’s audience.
