Piccolo Theatre proudly presentsLow Pay? Don't Pay!
by Dario Fo
The first production in our hilarious and triumphant 10th Anniversary season. A decade after breaking into the Chicago theatre scene with this legendary comedy (under the former title of “We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!), the time is ripe to bring it back to Piccolo’s stage. John Szostek, Piccolo’s Artistic Director, directs a skillful all-ensemble cast in the American premier of Fo’s fresh new adaptation.
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 moralist 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.
If the economy has you down, this energetic and pointed farce
will cheer you up ‘Fo’ sure.
