The first act, ‘The Ship of Fools: Not Fit For Society’, chronicles the capture by an authoritarian government of the ‘radical elements’ of society, the fools. Each Fool is introduced in the first act, and we follow their journey through the subsequent four acts.
The show includes harlequin foolery, original music, and handmade puppets, costumes and masks.
