The Jets and the Sharks. The Montagues and the Capulets. The Hatfields and the McCoys. These are just a few of the best-known feuds. Enter the battle between rich Gray squirrels and outcast Fox squirrels. In Robert Askin’s new play, The Squirrels, an outsider enters the world of these two rival squirrels and all hell breaks loose. The comedy is having its world premiere now at the La Jolla Playhouse through July 8th.
Christopher Ashley, won won the Tony Award for his direction of the musical Come From Away, helms this production. The show stars Terence Archie, Candy Buckley, Sidney Hill, Lakisha May, Brad Oscar, Max Singer, Marcus Terrell Smith, Summer Spiro and Danielle E.B. Wineman.
The Squirrels comes with a warning: This show contains squirrels engaging in R-rated behaviors, violence and adult situations. Something tells me there’s a metaphor to be found in this show! They can’t all just be this nuts!
