This was a weird one – even for the land of Fringe Theatre.  The heart of the play was one man, Tim Crouch wearing a virtual reality set of goggles.  With the goggles on he places himself in the role of the Fool in Shakespeare’s King Lear.  He describes being in the actual role during a live performance of Lear where actors and scenes are playing around him as he describes what he is experiencing.   Perhaps even more interesting was his X-ray like vision of the audience.
