SUMMARY:Frome Festival 25th Anniversary Gala Launch X King of Fools
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Frome Festival’s 25th anniversary with a gala launch of this year’s programme\, featuring Kairos Theatre’s acclaimed musical “King of Fools” written by former Frome Festival director Martin Dimery. Set in the court of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn\, Henry’s famous jester\, Will Sommers\, finds himself the butt of the King’s frustration as the royal divorce goes through interminable delays. Join for a celebratory reception from 7pm with fizz and refreshments. \n“King of Fools” is written by former Frome Festival Director\, Martin Dimery\, in musical collaboration with Helen Turner\, renowned keyboard player with Paul Weller’s Style Council\, and subsequent work. \nSet in the court of Henry the Eighth and Anne Boleyn\, Henry’s famous jester\, Will Sommers\, finds himself the butt of the King’s frustration as the royal divorce goes through interminable delays. Will discovers a young barmaid called Jane\, in a Cheapside tavern\, entertaining the regulars. Will thinks Jane could be the ideal companion and female jester for Anne. He presents her at court as “Jane Fool” and she becomes an instant success. He has also secretly fallen in love with her. As Henry’s disillusionment with Anne grows\, so Jane is drawn into Cromwell’s evil plot to be rid of Henry’s young queen. Anne\, though\, sees Jane as the perfect scapegoat\, setting up a gripping finale from the scaffold. \nThe musical score draws a range of styles from rock to vaudeville and Music Hall. Kairos Theatre Company incorporates experienced performers from around the region and specialises in presenting new or rarely seen plays. \n“Funny\, clever and brilliantly performed.” “Splendid book\, music\, singing\, dancing and acting.” \n*Note: This will take place in the main Merlin Theatre auditorium \nThis event is part of Frome Festival.
