![]() Playing at the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe! The Squirrel Plays by Mia McCullough There’s only one thing you need to know about newlyweds Tom and Sarah: they are definitely not squirrel people. Not that they judge, of course. So when they discover a critter in their attic, they’re faced with a marriage-testing decision: to exterminate, or not to exterminate? But the squirrels aren’t only invading Tom and Sarah’s home. They’ve infested the whole neighbourhood. This time, the issue doesn’t only tear Sarah and Tom apart. It threatens the peace of an entire community. Using both absurdist humour and emotional truth, award-winning playwright Mia McCullough sheds new light on timely matters. Aug 8-12, 14-27 TICKETS THE HERO'S WIFE by Aline Lathrop directed by Ann Filmer and Miguel Nunez 16th Street Theater through August 18 2018 ...it’s a lacerating and relevant portrait of how hard it can be for two people to find their way home to each other in the wake of the living nightmare of war. Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune The striking final moments will stay with you, as will the warmth and humor shared by the characters even as they literally fight for their relationship and try to create a world where they can exist together.
