When an older man on a sugar daddy app isn’t looking for anything sexual– just a Nice Jewish Girl– that’s not weird, right? Hopefully not, because Rose Aronson is willing to do whatever it takes to move out of her sister’s house, I mean Eden, I mean Westchester. A dark absurdist comedy that reconsiders the myth of Lilith, Screech Owl delves into the sexed and sexual positioning of a Jewish girl on the verge of being a woman, or a monster, or something.
“I think it’s a Jewish thing, our grandparents suffered so our parents could get boring jobs and move to the suburbs so we could be happy, or make art, or something.”
