It has been three and a half centuries since England last had an official jester. |
A marionette danced on strings, a jester decking in bells and bright red and yellow. |
Like the jester at a medieval court whose caperings and quips recalled the king to sanity, he aimed only to remind the world of its duty. |
My job was to be their court jester and to put music on in the boom box to make them stretch and move a little bit. |
Adamson's Feste sings well and impresses as a talented professional court jester, but misses the deeper, darker tones of the part. |
Whether you welcome this prince of silly or shun him as a hopeless jester, on stage his outlandish world cannot fail to charm. |
