Description of the plot of the play
“Dinner with a Fool” is a comedy of the French playwright F. Weber, who also wrote scripts for many famous films such as “Runaways”, “Blond in a Black Boot”, “Toy”, “Losers” and many others.
The plot of this comedy production is based on the fact that one unusual dinner was to be held one evening with friends. In order to get to this evening meal, you must bring along a fool who naturally does not know about such a condition and the role assigned to him at this dinner. And the essence of this joke is to untie such an unusual guest. The participant who brought the “best” fool with him will receive the title of winner at this event.
