Funny, fast-moving, and thought-provoking, Five Minutes from Chaos tells the story of Charlie Neb, a philosophy professor who spends his days lecturing to anxiety-filled frat boys and cheerleaders.
One day he tells a joke and is canceled. The problem is that neither he nor his students remember which of his witticisms triggered the anonymous complaint, but that does not stop his Kafkaesque trial from moving forward. So, Charlie sets out to find happiness and the meaning of life in a world where we all live just five minutes from chaos.
This hilarious satire of academia, love, and modern life is written by the comic playwright and NBC sitcom writer William Missouri Downs.
