Mermaids at the Fringe
After a murder is committed in Jacobean London by a man wearing motley, two playing fools from different productions must prove their innocence with the help of a bard, an innkeeper’s wife, a harlot and the all-knowing judge. Intertwined in guilt and innocence are the torrid affairs of the pleasure and playhouses and the love of an old fool for his actor-king… What motivated the killer? Dubious investments in the fledgling Globe Theatre? Scandalous family secrets? Syphilis? You decide! As the trial reaches its climax, it's the audience who must play jury and deliver the verdict!
