Johnny Pye and the Fool-Killer

''Johnny Pye and the Fool-Killer'' was an Off-Broadway musical with music by Randy Courts, the book by Mark St. Germain, and lyrics by Randy Courts and Mark St. Germain based on the story of the same name by Stephen Vincent Benét. It was originally performed at Seattle's La Pensee Discovery! Theatre in 1983 and ran at Lamb's Theatre from October 21, 1993 and closed on December 12, 1993 after 54 performances.
==Synopsis==
The story follows an all-American boy Johnny Pye in 1928, and following the passing of his father, he has advanced awareness of death. The bereaving youngster actually sees the figure of death: It is a deformed, portly workman wearing a smock and cap and toting a grindstone. It shows Johnny his aspirations: he wants to be a doctor, then a painter, then a minister, but ends up being the postmaster in his hometown of Martinsville, United States of America.
Over the course of the show, Death (The Fool-Killer) can only be seen by Johnny. When they first meet, Johnny angrily challenges him. Johnny later leaves to serve in World War II, and when he returns after nearly dying, he steals the girl of his dreams from his arch enemy Wilbur. Through the several decades the show passes through (it ends in 1995), Johnny sees many of his loved ones get taken away. Johnny makes a deal with Death in the early process of their relationship: if Johnny can solve a riddle that the Fool-Killer presents, then Johnny's life will be spared. The second act deals with the happy marriage of Johnny and Suzy, and eventually to when they are great-grandparents and Johnny can't remember any of their names.
