Join visiting Polish playwright Malgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk for a reading of her new play.

Wednesday Nov. 11, 2009 — 7pm

Though The Death of the Squirrel Man depicts the real members of a terrorist group and the bloody events that shook up Germany in the 1970s, it is by no means a realistic, historical play. Instead, it shows revolution in a playful and grotesque manner, depicting the revolutionaries as pop culture icons.
In a series of cartoon-like surrealistic scenes, U, a previously uninvolved member of the middle-class, teams up with Baader, the Anti-Man and his vulgar girlfriend Ensslin, telling a fairy tale about the Colour Red. Together, they outwit a Melancholy Cop and see the kind-hearted Squirrel-Man – a symbol of bourgeois society – die once a day over and over again, whilst unsuccessfully attempting to express his affection to U.
