This weekend is the final weekend for The Methuselah Tree, a new soon-to-be-published play brought to you straight from the Minnesota Fringe Festival by Cockroach Theatre.

Written by Jayme McGhan, the dark comedy revolves around a metaphysical scientist who creates the first bionic soul.

For anyone who likes absurdist theater, this play is one reason Cockroach is our favorite local theater company.

Remaining performances are tonight through Sunday at 8 p.m. at Threshold Theatre, 4780 W. Harmon Ave. #10.

Tickets are $20.
