| The
Francis Marion University Theatre's final mainstage production of the
2006-2007 season
will be Neil Simon's comic fable, 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 becomes stupid too. Why doesn't Leon leave? He has fallen in love with a girl so stupid that she has only recently learned how to sit down. Of course, Leon breaks the curse and gets the girl. "The brightest, freshest, funniest, wittiest, warmest and happiest to do on Broadway in many a day." - CBS TV. |
