The riveting tale of what happened to the Fool, who mysteriously disappears halfway through Shakespeare’s tragedy. 'A gorgeous, lyrical and heartbreaking variation on the themes of Shakespeare’s play...' (Scotsman). 'David Henry Wilson’s one-act play is a self-contained, self-imagined work of genius' (GlasgowWestEndToday.scot). A brand-new production, directed by Liz Carruthers, following the sell-out production by Bard in the Botanics, for which Nicole Cooper was shortlisted for Performance of the Year at the Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland. In this production, the Fool will be played by Jill Riddiford, who herself has twice been on the short list.
