'A learned fool is more of a fool than an ignorant fool can be.' Juliet and Clinton are in love. Guileless, sweet, all-encompassing love. However, love is not without its impediments. Standing in the way of their eternal happiness are Juliet's mother and sister, whose disapproval is of the most highbrow kind. Justin Fleming has audaciously brought Moliere's Les Femmes Savantes (The Learned Ladies) screaming into the 21st century and created a sassy Sydney story filled with linguistic dexterity, wit and rhyme.
