Directed by comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld, "this satirical masterpiece explores a history of the world in 75 minutes that proves throughout human history, the joke has always been on us," according to PTC. The play "skewers human civilization through a hilarious blend of incisive observation and sharp commentary….[addressing] contemporary issues and phenomena, including the economic crisis, the Middle East conflict and the always controversial 'Jersey Shore' in addition to century-old dilemmas dating back to the Ancient Greeks and beyond."
