My Cannibal Summer

by Claire Rice

Two cannibals meet at a barbecue. If they survive the summer they might get to go on a date.

Eddie has returned home after years in the Army. Tracy has been in love with Eddie since they were kids. Sonia is the new girl in the neighborhood. Oh, and they are all cannibals. "My Cannibal Summer" is a dark comedy about the pressures of trying to live up to other people's expectations in a eat or be eaten world.

    Raunchy, bloody, and an all-around good time, MY CANNIBAL SUMMER is quick in its pace and delightfully strange. Claire Rice has really built a world where cannibals are less something to be feared and more awkwardly romantic, cringy, every day people that can be thrown into hilarious circumstance and hijinks just like any good comedy. #PlaywrightPlug

    Fun, hilarious, campy, and a teeny-bit sweet. MY CANNIBAL SUMMER had just about a million laugh out loud moments during its production with Awesome Theatre in San Francisco. It energized the audience and had super exciting and silly fights. This would be a great play for colleges across the country. An excellent dark comedy about eating people, loving people, and eating the people you love. Read this! Produce this!
