Fools by Neil Simon
Directed by David Booth
What do you get when you take one eager young teacher, add a beautiful dimwitted girl, throw in a handful of kooky villagers, and then sprinkle on one ancient curse? The answer: a deliciously amusing recipe for Neil Simon’s “Fools”. This classic comedy takes us to Kulyenchikov, a Ukrainian town plagued by a scorned lover’s curse. Leon, the hero answers an ad requesting a teacher for Kulyenchikov only to discover that the entire town is filled with fools. He is soon informed that he has exactly one day to break the curse or else he will become a fool himself. Faced with this dilemma, a hysterical tale of stupidity, love and human nature unfolds.
