The Aliens follows KJ and Jasper, who are professional slackers and best friends. They spend their days outside the back of a small coffee shop in Vermont talking music and Bukowski. 17-year-old Evan is just getting ready for life, eking out his summer working at the café. KJ and Jasper draw him into their world of magic mushrooms, philosophical musings and great-bands-that never-were.

One of the freshest voices to come out of America in recent years, Annie Baker’s gentle, engaging and deeply funny play The Aliens introduces two new cult heroes in the shape of KJ and Jasper, and puts modern day America under the microscope to ask what happened to the generation who never grew up.
