Fools

By Neil Simon

Rating: G (all audiences)

In a village cursed with a plague of stupidity, common sense is uncommon and intelligence is unintelligible. To the rescue comes Leon, the new schoolteacher, who must break the curse in one day or become hopelessly stupid himself. But is there even a curse to be broken? Are the villagers really this stupid? Or have they simply believed in the curse for too long? With characteristic wit and imagination, Neil Simon’s farcical fable spins hilarity from stupidity.
