“The brightest, freshest, funniest, wittiest, warmest and happiest to do on Broadway in many a day.” CBS-TV
A comic fable, Fools features a Ukrainian village, Kulyenchikov, that for 200 years has been cursed with stupidity. Like most folk-tale curses, this one can be lifted by the marriage of a young townswoman to the local count, or by the intervention of a hero who has 24 hours to educate successfully the same young woman. In this story, the hero’s name is Leon and the young woman is sweet, but not very bright, Sophia.
Fools is a light-hearted play that is enjoyable to watch with its ridiculous characters and Simon’s witty writing. Audiences will find themselves grinning and shaking their heads over the hijinks of the fools from Kulyenchikov. And yet, as silly as the play seems on the surface, at play’s end, we are left pondering questions like: What happens to a people when they believe a lie? Is education the answer to the world’s problems? What role does love play in individual and community life?
