Death and the Fool
641 D St NW Washington
Death and the Fool is a Tarot-inspired mystery play full of slapstick comedy, music from the Middle Ages, puppetry and whimsy. Just as folly brought light to the Middle Ages, this interactive experience 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?"
Presented by The Edge of the Universe Theater
