HISTORICAL COMEDY FOOLS
SETS QUITE A STELLAR ROYAL CAST
Mary Tudor will be played by Karen Gillan in new historical comedy FOOLS with Patsy Ferran as her court jester. Directed bu Guy Jenkin, the film is set in 1553. England’s first Queen, Mary I, takes the throne. The country is on the brink of chaos, and the ambitious Cardinal Pole (Jim 
Broadbent) plots to secure control. He has overlooked, however, a humble court-jester. The pious, and apparently humorless queen finds relief in her brilliant slapstick routines and they strike up an unlikely friendship. Brenda Blethyn will also star.
