I'm not spoiling anything when I mention that the two women in Low Pay? Don't Pay! spend most of the show faking pregnancy to hide the groceries they have stolen. This leads to some pretty hilarious shenanigans, akward moments with cabbage, and some (eh-hehm!) "educating" of the men. There will be more posts on this dubious topic in the future.
But for now, I just hope to entertain you with this little beauty, which was used to market a production of We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay! produced by The Next Arena theatre company in L.A. in 2005. So now that I've given them credit, pretend Piccolo shot this and then be so intrigued that you have to come to our production. Heh heh!
And let's not leave out hysterical pregnancies. Funny, right? "Hysterical" is right in the name! Before anyone jumps on us for our insensitivity, I know many other theatres would find an eloquent and interesting way to explore the emotional trauma that often comes with this condition. We here at Piccolo urge you to go see those shows, but would simply prefer to crack you up.
As the women in Low Pay? Don't Pay! try to find a way out of their obviously fake pregnancies, one option is to "say it was a hysterical pregnancy! It happens all the time. Women get pregnant and then all that comes out is air." It is decided that the husbands surely won't fall for it, so an alternative plan is hatched.....that is even more ridiculous! (And yes, the husbands fall for it.)
In the spirit of the ladies' initial hysterical pregnancy plan, enjoy this little bit of rediculousness.
