The Fools
Santa Monica Playhouse
1211 4th Street Santa Monica
A zany, romantic, ever-so-slightly naughty musical comedy mixed with intrigue, sword play and a touch of Monty Python for good measure, based on Moliere's comedy "Les Facheux." "Best Bets" in LA TIMES and "Critics' Pick" in Backstage, "THE FOOLS" is perfect summer fare, presented in ART's signature Commedia-Circus style, or as the LA TIMES puts it, "Barnum & Bailey spiced with Monty Python." Exploring such human foibles as hypocrisy, selfishness, jealousy, vanity and arrogance through the eyes of 17th century France and the antics of archetypical Commedia dell'arte humor, "THE FOOLS" asks the burning question, "Which of us are the bigger fools-those of us who play our foolish games upon the stage...or those of you who pay your hard earned francs to watch us do it?"

"...Evelyn Rudie keeps the style of the original but makes the language accessible to modern ears and the comedy fresh enough."
