Based on true events, THE FANCY follows Tom Molineaux, a freed American slave who, after winning his freedom in a pit-fight makes his way to Regency England where he finds himself entrenched in the sordid world of bareknuckle prizefighting.
Celebrated playwright, Harold Blumenthal, has passed away after succumbing to cardiac arrest while laughing at his own joke. Now, Harold’s estranged and jealous brother, Saul, must confront his personal hang-ups in order to deliver himself from an epic bout of constipation. Meanwhile, Saul’s second wife and troubled son must grapple with their own personal obstacles through a set of circumstances so improbably ironic they might as well have been lifted from one of Harold’s plays.
