Holy Fool
Park Theatre
His music made him. It could destroy him. At the height of Stalin's regime, celebrated composer Dmitri Shostakovich walks a perilous tightrope. One wrong note could topple him; one perfectly judged crescendo might save his life. Under the constant threat of torture and death, he must appease a brutal despot - while quietly resisting him. Outwardly compliant, inwardly defiant, Shostakovich composes in code: music that conceals as much as it reveals.
Holy Fool is a tense, darkly witty exploration of the absurdity of tyranny, the bravery of resistance and the triumph of the human spirit. By Rosalind Adler and Lea Sellers, directed by Kate Fahy. Presented by Park Theatre and Wild Yak.
