Summary of the Play: The Fool travels through the rest of the Tarot deck. It is in the words of the author "An interpretation of the Tarot developed as an occult musical extravaganza complete with ballet, music and lyrics with Shakespearean-type dialogue." Reader Comment: It is in the reader's words, "Garbage." It has nearly twice as many impossible character notes as it does dialogue, no sense of through line, an irreverence to the Tarot in general and, if the dialogue is truly intended to be of a Shakespearean type, from this script I assume there is another writer calling himself Shakespeare whose writing I haven't read.
