Mirth on Earth is a two-act musical comedy by Seattle playwright William Rubel. A disrobed monk, a hedonistic artist, and a part-time model with a dead-end job converge in an outrageous outburst of insight and melody.
Sylvan is a young monk who, after discussing his doubts with his teacher, Father Gregor, decides to disrobe and visit his older brother, Peregrine (Perry), a hedonistic painter who lives in a cabin in the woods. When Perry's younger brother shows up out of the blue, he invites Aveline, the model-friend who poses for him, for a bottle of wine. Together, they pour the purple grape and sip it void, plumbing the depths of religion, art, romance, and the human heart.
