The Squirrel Plays by Mia McCullough
Infestation, Compensation, and Eradication
The Squirrel Plays is a trilogy of one-acts by Mia McCullough. It's a metaphorical depiction of relevant social issues in America today. The plays broach many sensitive subjects including unwanted pregnancies, the use of public funds for termination, gun violence, and racism all under the guise of squirrels and the suburban community's plans to control the small animals. These absurdist comedies about squirrel problems are a hilarious metaphor for social issues presented in a timely dark comedy about middle class liberal hypocrisy.
