Fool's Paradise
A world premiere theatrical comedy from award-winning artist Britt Plummer (Chameleon and The Baroque), Britt's on a quest to defy bureaucracy, hurdling the complexities of modern relationships whilst maintaining her sanity. Expect physical comedy, banging tunes and at least one hopeless romantic!
