SYNOPSIS
The Almost Completely Terrible Tale of Felicity Footin, is a contemporary ‘human fable’ about the working world. Felicity works at the corporate level of a soft toy company. She is new and she is finding the management style and mode of communication very different from the ‘cultural myths’ she has grown up with. Felicity does her best to embrace the company motto, ‘no sharp edges’! To be successful, she must take on the company motto, embrace ambiguity and ‘soft edges’ if she is to appropriately assimilate. She too begins to ‘sweeps things under the company carpet’, wherever that is! Fergus Forthwith her true love is unsure whether Felicity is still the same girl he fell in love with, and her parents are dreadfully confused about who their daughter is.
The play satirizes the working world, where passive-aggressive communication often completely obscures meaning. The play uses some of the literary elements of a fable; It’s short, didactic, has two-dimensional characters, is stylized and has a message/moral implicit.
