We find that stupidity flourishes, even without magic spells to help it along, but in Neil Simon’s Fools, the Ukraine village of Kulyenchikov has been chronically stupid for 200 years due to a curse. Can the curse be broken? New teacher Leon Tolchinsky is up for the challenge, largely because he’s fallen in love with his pupil, Sophia. The plot’s full of twists, turns, and bad jokes. (The townspeople are terrible at everything.)
