Fools by Neil Simon
Leon Tolchinsky is ecstatic. He’s landed a terrific teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet. When he arrives, he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and people milking upside down to get more cream. The town has been cursed with Chronic Stupidity for two hundred years, and Leon’s job is to break the curse. No one tells him that if he stays over 24 hours and fails to break the curse, he too becomes stupid. Will Leon break the curse, especially now that he’s fallen in love with a girl in the town? Time will tell in this comic fable by the award-winning playwright Neil Simon.
