The Fool is Tavener's fourth collaboration with the director Lucy Bailey and, reportedly, his last dramatic project with a libretto by Mother Thekla, the 82 year old Orthodox Abbess from Whitby who has long been the composer's muse.

Synopsis: | The work portrays a "holy fool" of the Orthodox tradition as a bedraggled, screaming, snoring, guzzling, leaping and posturing oaf which he keeps with him in bed when he's not parading around the stage. The fool was apparently 'refined after a close encounter with Norman Wisdom.' | |||||
