Players will be revisiting the talents of Neil Simon as we kick off 2010
with his classic comedy, Fools. Leon Tolchinsky is ecstatic.
He's landed a terrific teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet. When
he arrives he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their
houses and people milking upside down to get more cream. The town has
been cursed with Chronic Stupidity for 200 years and Leon's job is to
break the curse. No one tells him that if he stays over 24 hours and
fails to break the curse, he too becomes Stupid. But, he has fallen in
love with a girl so Stupid that she has only recently learned how to sit
down.
