About Fooled Again
Fooled Again presents Betsy and Patty, a couple of cows passing time while waiting in line in their factory farm home. As they wait, they engage in a very interesting and revealing discussion that gets political — though the show is equally a comedy and a tragedy. This satirical theatre piece uses animals to illuminate the human experience: darkly funny and surprisingly touching. Performed at Bedlam Theatre, it arrives at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe following a previous run at the Hollywood Fringe.
Why see this show?
When two cows in a queue have more to say about the world than most humans, that's a show worth seeing. Funny, politically sharp and genuinely moving by turns — this is satire that earns its heart.
