Charlie and Katherine Kane return home from a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, only to discover that four generations of the oddly-accented Xavier family have occupied their house in their absence. As Katherine desperately attempts to understand the mystery surrounding the charismatic Bobby, the psychotic Jeb, the kleptomaniacal Baby, and Ma (who speaks a language no-one understands), the tragedies of her own past threaten to rise up and consume her. Squatters is a play about connection, alienation, healing, abuse, sex, death, and physics. And alien abduction, of course. Everything but the kitchen sink, which it also, incidentally, includes.
