Celebrate the return of live theatre with this
existential comedy inspired by Don
Quixote, with echoes of Waiting for Godot and Abbott and Costello!
When Fool 1 discovers the Giant Void in their soul, they and their
loyal best friend Fool 2 set out on a Quixotic quest to fill it. Will
food and alcohol do it? What about jobs, marriage, procreation, or
even self-reflection?
Can anything
fill this damn void?!
