Death and the FooL
developed and performed by Happenstance Theater
Death and the Fool is a Tarot-inspired mystery play full of slapstick comedy, medieval music, puppetry and whimsy. Just as folly brought light to the Dark Ages, this show offers relief from impending doom. As the Fool faces Death, follow along on his journey for guidance – consult the ancient Oracle, be comforted by the High Priestess, trust the Doctor, and give your troubles over to the Crone. Don’t miss Happenstance Theater, “DC’s leading peddler of whimsy,” (Washington Post) and five-time Helen Hayes Award winners, as they seek to answer the age-old question, “What are we to do about death?”
