Mad Horse Theatre Company presents THE SQUIRRELS, a darkly satirical play by Robert Askins, directed by Jake Cote. Set against a backdrop of a fierce food hoarding conflict, the story revolves around Scurius, the patriarch of a gray squirrel family, whose refusal to share his enormous stockpile of nuts sparks a brutal war with a group of starving fox squirrels. This production explores themes of wealth inequality through sharp humor and boundary-pushing storytelling.
