CLOSING THIS WEEKEND: Original Dark Comedy, Eviction, Debuts at Planet Ant

 A surreal comedy of kidnapping, chaos and a landlord who just wants to be loved.

HAMTRAMCK, MICH – This summer, The Planet Ant Farm Team combines the terror of abduction with the absurdity of Monty Python-style humor with Eviction. This original one act comedy is a darkly hilarious, offbeat theatrical experience that explores loneliness, obsession, and the weirdest laundry night ever.

Eviction features three main characters: Norman, a lonely landlord in desperate need of friends, and his newest (and only) tenants, Marley and Brittney. When a dryer breaks down, things take a turn when Norman tries to “help” the girls. Marley and Brittney unwittingly become a part of Norman’s elaborate (and unhinged) plan to make them his captive best friends… forever.

As Marley plots her escape, Brittney starts to wonder if captivity is really all that bad. Between Norman’s bizarre behavior and Brittney’s unexpected compliance, things spiral into a surreal, absurd, and oddly charming nightmare.

Eviction is an unpredictable rollercoaster of the serious and the silly, equal parts horror and hilarity that will amuse and unsettle the audience as Norman tries to win over Marley and Brittney in his very own special way.
