Mel Chomsky's History of the World is an original comedy written and directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Dic Wheeler. This high-energy play blends theater, circus, and Commedia dell'Arte. Beginning in Melilli, Sicily in 1626, three performers are swept into a wild time-travel adventure led by a dead philosopher-comedian, Mel Chomsky, journeying from Melilli to Mattabasset, ancient Greece, the American Revolution and beyond. It's a bold, slapstick ride through history that explores the ongoing tension between democracy and authoritarianism. Writer/director Wheeler, who will be leaving the Playhouse in June, says about the production: "I wanted my final show at Oddfellows to celebrate my life-long love of physical comedy, Commedia and circus, but also be a commentary about the current state of the world. The play combines the broad comedy of Mel Brooks with the world view of Noam Chomsky, throwing in a dollop of Dr. Who. The cast includes familiar characters like Socrates, George Washington, Marie Antoinette and Pope Leo X, plus many others throughout time and space, but at the heart are three archetypes of Commedia - the Miser Pantalone, the hungry servant Arlecchino, and his love and protector Colombina - all led by their tour guide Mel Chomsky." Mel Chomsky's History of the World contains strong language and ridiculous situations.
