Setting

Directed by David A. Hutson

Fools is the tale of a fictitious Russian village suffering from a 200 year old curse that renders every man, woman, and domestic animal illiterate, doomed never to have an intellect greater than a knot on a log. As a bonus the curse doesn't allow them to leave the village, no wonder the train doesn't stop there. Their only hope lies with a young school teacher brought there to teach the beautiful young Sophia Zubritsky, who isn't smart enough to even know the difference between a cow and a duck. Not that that's an easy subject, mind you. But if he can raise her intellect the curse will be broken, but there's a catch. He has only 24 hours to do so, and if he fails he falls victim to the curse himself, becoming just as stupid as the rest of the village.

Fools is a classic Neil Simon farce with so many laughs you may need to invest in a pair of Depends! But Fools also delivers a wonderful message about the power of Love and shows us that often the only thing standing between us and our dreams...is us.
