*The Squirrels by Robert Askins*



*Synopsis*: Scurius, the patriarch of a family of gray squirrels, has
collected enough nuts to last ten winters. When a group of starving fox
squirrels begs him to share his hoard of food, animosity erupts into a
ferocious war. THE SQUIRRELS is a boundary-pushing, darkly satirical look
at wealth inequality in which no creature comes out unscathed.



*Cast:*

·         SCIURUS. Great old gray squirrel. Big. Fat-ish. The greatest
gatherer of nuts the forest ever saw. Now gone to seed. Father to Chordata.
Partner to Mammalia. Adopted father to Rodentia.

·         CHORDATA. Young gray squirrel. Squirrel sexy. Squirrel smart. She
knows the forest is changing. She is in love with Carolinensis. She is
perhaps a little too sentimental.

·        MAMMALIA. Older gray squirrel. The long-suffering partner to
Sciurus. She loves him. Knows his faults. Has aided his schemes. She is
dedicated to her daughter and wants only the best for her.

·         RODENTIA. Adopted daughter of Sciurus. Young fox squirrel. She
swims with the tide that raises her boat.

·         CAROLINENSIS. Young fox squirrel. Fierce. Strong. Idealistic but
hungry. It is after all the dead of winter and mating season is coming.

·         SCIURIDAE/THE SCIENTIST. Gray squirrel. He is smooth. Too smooth.
He stares too long. He's creepy like an evil Rikki-Tikki- Tavi. The
scientist is not a real scientist. He's a cartoon scientist. Make of that
what you will.
