The Aliens
Cleveland State University
Cleveland, OH
College Theatre
By: Annie Baker
April 4 - April 14, 2024
Show Description:
In THE ALIENS, we meet two young men behind a coffee shop who talk music and Bukowski until a lonely high school student arrives and they decide to teach him everything they know. The story is a seemingly quiet study rooted in alienation, and a powerful observation of a lost generation. The play is set in Vermont, as are three of Baker's other plays, Body Awareness, Circle Mirror Transformation, and Nocturama. THE ALIENS premiered Off-Broadway in 2010 and won the Obie Award for Best New American Play, with Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation.
