Daniel & Ariel Pinkerton, artistic directors
For SIXTEEN YEARS Fortune’s Fool Theatre has been dedicated to exposing Twin Cities audiences to unfamiliar theatrical works, with an emphasis on Minnesota writers. With imagination and verve, we produce world premieres and plays that are rarely performed in the Twin Cities.
In August 2022, at the MN Fringe Festival, Fortune's Fool will be presenting the world premiere of THE HYSTERICAL WOMAN, created by Ariel Pinkerton. Hysteria: wandering womb, psychological diagnosis, catch-all dismissal? "Calm down, honey, you're being hysterical." From Cassandra to Britney Spears, THE HYSTERICAL WOMAN walks in the shoes of women ridiculed, ignored, accused, and institutionalized.
