Melbourne International Comedy Festival in association with Off the Kerb Productions present the Australian premiere of Levelland A play by Rich Hall USA Theatre

Australian Premiere

Rich Hall, Perrier and Emmy Award Winning writer and comedian, debuts his first full length play.
The world is on the brink of economic meltdown due to rampant oil price rises and chronic global fuel shortages. Contentious syndicated talk-show host Wayman Tisdale, broadcasting from his remote west Texan station is violently interrupted by a young drifter claiming to be a messiah on the run. What follows is a disturbing, darkly comic, caustic mystery thriller - a dissection of modern US mores and values, religion, paranoia, twisted politics and, above all, faith.
When American sneezes, the world catches cold, so wrap up warm, buckle up and brace yourself!

Directed by Guy Masterson and starring Rich himself with former Barry winner Mike Wilmot, local favourite Russell Fletcher and Livingston Montana's Nathaniel Davis.

"One of the funniest, smartest, most acute American wits alive." Stephen Fry
"One of THE greatest comedy prose writers." Time Out
