Set in the 16th century in the aftermath of Henry VIII's death, Fools follows England's first queen, Mary I, as she takes the throne in a divided country on the brink of chaos.
While the ambitious Cardinal Pole plots to secure control, he overlooks humble court jester Jane Foole. The pious and apparently humourless queen finds Jane's brilliant slapstick routines uproariously funny, and they strike up a genuine friendship, the comedy lightening Mary's mood in the darkest of times, and helping fend off Pole's murderous manipulation. But can Jane's comedy save a nation from civil war?
