Fools...

Finally the week is over and the weekend is here, and finally I'm home...
I recently came home from a play, elaborately named "Fools".......
it's set in Russia, in a small town named Kulyenchikov and about a young teacher, Leon Tolchinsky, who moves there...
not too long after he arrives, full of energy to teach (cause that's what teachers do..), he realizes that everyone in the town (all 7 of them) are all fools (I wonder if that's the inspiration for the title... ?)..... he finds out from the local doctor (who is also a fool, but a smart one) that they're all fools due to a curse that was put on the village some 200 years ago (isn't that how it always works ?) and that the only way to break it is for his daughter, Sofia Zubritsky, to marry the evil Count Yousekevitch (who is the last descendant of the Yousekevitch clan, the same clan who put the curse on the village... and is 79, where Sofia looks no older than 17...strange...)
Leon then met Sofia and instantly fell in love....he then had to leave because the Count was coming to propose (which he does twice daily, a little persistant ?).....
The rest of the play is about Leon trying to educate Sofia so he could break the curse, which is impossible to do....
It was a funny play with light romance and shows that no matter how stupid someone is....love conquers all (if only that were true lol)...
Sadly, I can't put any pics of it up because I've lost my USB cable for my camera, but you wouldn't miss much because it's sorta old...
