Comedy by Dario Fo together with Franca Rame
Translated into German by Peter O.Chotjewitz
Out of anger over rising food prices, Antonia decides to loot the supermarket. Together with her friend Margherita, they hide the goods from their just as unsuspecting and law-abiding husbands at home. When the police begin to search the apartments, things get tense, and a frantic game of confusion begins.
Dario Fo's play is a highly comedic mix of political utopia and improvisational comedy, fully in the tradition of Italian popular theater. “Bezahlt wird nicht” presents a socially critical farce about skyrocketing prices, economic crises, politician lies, and unconventional protest.
The comedy by the Italian writer and Nobel Prize winner in Literature Dario Fo premiered in 1974. The fact that it has lost none of its relevance is the truly astonishing aspect of this absurdly comedic play.
