BIG SQUIRREL 

A Middle-Aged Man's Uncertainty Theory

 

explored in a surreal, cynical, witty and thought provoking way the uncertainties of life. It featured evangelical line dancing lawyers, a sex obsessed therapist, a squirrel loving gardener, an untalented show contestant, a condescending doctor, a laid back vicar, a disinterested shop assistant and an ever increasing bizarre bunch of taxi passengers to illustrate the point.

 

The premise is we are all brought up to believe we live in a life full of certainties. Good will always triumph over evil. You can achieve anything you want. One day you will find a partner for life. All designed to shape the life we are are expected to lead. To make us feel safe but also threatened if we veer from the path of righteousness. However as we get older these certainties start to crumble when we gradually realise nobody can achieve everything they want, partnerships are not always limited companies and if God exists he is inclined to turn the occasional blind eye.
