By Dario Fo
A hilarious farce about real economic farce

Translated by Joseph Farrell
Edited by Franca Rame
Directed by John Szostek

Previews, Sept 3-5
Runs Sept 10-Oct 23

Housewives Antonia and Margherita, fed up with high prices in the supermarket, take matters into their own hands and "liberate" some items from the local grocery store. Keen to hide their light-fingered antics from their hot-headed husbands, Giovanni and Luigi - not to mention the police - the women are forced to resort to more and more inventive hiding places, as slapstick confusion leads to rollicking chaos.

Nobel prize winner Dario Fo, "the people's jester", is Italy's leading contemporary playwright, a master of political farce, and is renowned for his hilarious satires including Accidental Death of an Anarchist and About Face.

Cast members: Amy Gorelow, David W.M. Kelch, Glenn Proud, Ken Raabe, Brianna Sloane
