The Play:

One of the great European comedies of the 20th Century, which caused Nobel Prizing winning playwright Dario Fo to be brought to trial for incitement in this play about women a mass movement of shoplifting from food stores, due to price hikes, throughout a city. The result is a peculiar number of pregnant-looking women in coats being pursued by the authorities everywhere. It is both physical comedy and a comedy of wit, sometimes in the “boulevard” style. Fo has roots in Commedia dell’Arte, and the influence shows in this modern farce.

The characters:

ANTONIA is a middle-aged (40s-50s) working class woman who knows how to live dangerously in a crisis—but prone to disastrous mistakes of judgment. She acts like she wants her husband’s approval in all she does – just enough to keep him fooled.

MARGHARITA is a working class woman in her mid-20s to mid-30s (give or take) who often follows her friend Antonia’s lead; who both enjoys mischief, but is quickly frightened in a corner.

GIOVANNI (age 40 – 55 for actors), Antonia’s husband, works in a factory. He is angry about the outsourcing of jobs by companies overseas, and unemployment at home. He is a moralist insofar as he supports law and order. He thinks himself shrewd – but is easily duped.

LUIGI (late 20s to late 30s) is Marghareta’s husband, also a worker, discontent with deteriorating working conditions and prices. Quite frantic when he is told his wife is “pregnant” but just slow enough – or male enough – to believe it.

POLICE SERGEANT, UNDERTAKER, GRANDFATHER, THE STATE TROOPER: all played by the same actor. (20s to 50s) All these characters “look mysteriously” alike.)
