Quick plug for a new production at the
Riverside Arts Centre in Sunbury Upon Thames this week. This was a very poplar play by Dario Fo during the anti-poll tax campaign. It’s a little far for me to venture but there is a respected UNISON health steward who is a leading light in the production.
“
This is a fast moving, political farce set in Milan. Housewives, who in dealing with high inflation prices find themselves unable to make ends meet, cause an uproar when deciding in a local supermarket that the prices are to high, they refuse to pay and with a un-premeditated decision, loot all they can. The play follows two of these housewives as they try to keep what they’ve done secret from their husbands, stirring up all sorts of hysterical spin to guard the truth. The fantastic role of sergeant playing a further three parts disguised only by changing of props, jumps in and out of the scenes desperate to catch them with the loot is hysterical.However in typical Fo style he manages to give even the wildest gag, a serious political undertone”.
