July 24, 1943 – Rome. The Grand Council of Fascism meets to discuss the removal of BENITO MUSSOLINI. The Duce, tired, exhausted, and overwhelmed by the failures of the Italian army, takes refuge for an hour inside a studio at Palazzo Venezia. Here, he reflects on how fate has led him, from poor and humble beginnings, to become the supreme leader of Italy – revealing how much of his mental health he has lost on this formidable journey.
“MUSSOLINI” is a theatrical performance that blends comedy and history, exploring the figure of Benito Mussolini. With a satirical and intelligent approach, the show has won over audiences across three continents, from France to the Asian stages of China, to the distant shores of the Indian Ocean and Australia.
This solo show, which has not only performed in mainstage theaters but also high schools in France, Italy, and Germany, offers a unique reflection on politics and Mussolini’s personality, using humor to bring the audience closer to complex historical themes.
The show was awarded at Avignon Off in 2017 as the best solo performance, as recognized by the magazine Avignon à l’Unisson, highlighting its ability to entertain and educate through solo performance.
AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGES – Italian, French, English, German, and Spanish – the show is accessible to an international audience, allowing viewers from various cultures to laugh, reflect, and learn history through a comedic lens.
The script of the show is available on Amazon in Kindle or paperback format. Click on the image to visit the Amazon page with the script.
YOUTUBE
MUSSOLINI SHOW
What if Mussolini had a YouTube channel? The MUSSOLINI SHOW answers this question with live episodes where Il Duce himself hosts from his “command center,” delivering dark satire and historical commentary through the lens of social media culture. This digital spin-off of Tom Corradini’s award-winning theatrical work transforms the dictator into an revolutionary YouTuber, complete with vintage 1930s aesthetics, audience chat interaction, and the same physical comedy that made the stage show an international success—now reaching millions online.
The YouTube program is a spin-off of the original theater show MUSSOLINI, which captivated audiences across three continents—from France to the stages of Asia in China, and as far as the distant shores of the Indian Ocean and Australia.
