Deep in the suburbs of Arizona, three trainwreck siblings are charged with the care of their trainwreck father, who may or may not live a secret alien life. John J. Caswell, Jr.’s brutally funny new play pierces one family’s emotional void as they search the cosmos to find a common language. Playwrights Horizons and MCC Theater present this world premiere directed by Dustin Wills (Wolf Play, Montag).
