A Brief History of Colonization is a one-man comedy show taking you on an abbreviated journey through India’s colonial history. Starting with the Portuguese Empire in 1498, we’ll meet the first European explorer to reach India, Vasco De Gama, who will be played by Matthew McConaughey. Onward we go through the 17th and 18th centuries where we see a glimpse of the Danish Empire, led by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and ending with the British Raj in 1947 with a cameo appearance by Kevin Spacey (because he needs the work). The show will leave you educated and horrified all at once.
