THE FABULIST FOX SISTER
By Luke Bateman & Michael Conley
‘People want to believe in something. Why not this?’
New York, 1892: Kate Fox, the woman who inadvertently invented séances is holding her last one. A final audience gathers in her apartment to watch as she conjures the ghosts of her two sisters to tell the story of their lives and the religion they accidentally began.
Loosely inspired by the loosely true story of Kate Fox, THE FABULIST FOX SISTER is a silly, scathing and sardonic one-person musical inspired by our own era of approximate truth.
