In the end, we are offered the sketches of what could be a stirring, thought-provoking play.

Eventually, Holy Fool is nothing but a superficial, unenticing, and painfully boring piece, whose only appeal is the name it intends to honour — and fails to do so miserably.

If laughter and engagement shall be the measures of a comedy’s success, this one had both in spades.

Overall, it's a nearly impeccable performance infused with classic-Broadway splendour, where plain entertainment is delivered in its finest form.

John Proctor Is the Villain

Although the plot is absorbing and the writing displays deftness, its embryonic dramaturgy makes it a passable but not remarkable experience at the theatre.
