In Theresa Rebeck's new comedy, Fool, two kings get together and place a wager on their fools — a jester competition in which the funniest gets to keep his head. Two evil minions have a lot to say about this, but not as much as the kitchen wench. And what's the queen been up to all night?

A dramatical comical farcical tragic play about power, love, laughter and death, set in a medieval kitchen, Fool is the fifth play by Theresa Rebeck to be produced by the Alley.
