By Isaac Bashevis Singer, Nobel Prize laureate.
Now being performed as a companion piece to Saul's highly successful Sholom Aleichem - Now You're Talking!, Gimpel the Fool received its world premiere at the 2002 Edinburgh International Fringe Festival. A tragi-comic tale of lies, deception and love, it is the story of a "sainted fool". A battleground of the wicked, the grotesque, of simple faith and the elusive truth.
"The most entrancing performance of Fringe...an inspired portrayal... magical vibrancy"
Jewish Telegraph, Edinburgh
"Reichlin is an intense story-teller"
