AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Using sophisticated technology, the mysterious Danny and Suzanne, along with their robot-like companions, can make themselves invisible and have the power to play Cupid.

'After invading a suburban home where a newly married couple host a housewarming, the mischievous Danny takes full advantage of his Cupid powers - "darting" everyone to fall in and out of love with each other.

'As jealousies and passions erupt in the household, it becomes clear Suzanne is secretly in love with Danny. But Danny reveals a secret of his own: he's engaged to be married. The news devastates Suzanne, but hardens her resolve to make Danny love her - even if it means playing spiteful games with him! The story builds to a surprise climax that is as funny as it is shocking.

'The course of true love never did run smooth!

'Inspired by William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", MORTAL FOOLS is a crazy comedy about unrequited love and altered states of sexual orientation - plotted around a mystery with sci-fi twists and turns!'
