Can't Pay? Won't Pay!
Campbelltown Theatre Group presents Dario Fo’s Can't Pay? Won't Pay! From May 16 to 31, 2014.
Do you find anything amusing about grocery shopping? Well, after Can't Pay, Won't Pay no shopping trip will never be the same again as two couples and battle against supermarket prices. Civil disobedience has never been funnier and leads to riotous outcomes. You’ll remember and giggle about this comedy each time you reach for that tin of beans.
Price rises and the difficulty of making ends meet are familiar issues face in today's economic climate; and finding humour at these times is often very difficult. Add to that an underlying political confusion between the right and the left and you have the ingredients of what, at first, appears to be serious topics.
However in Can't Pay? Won't Pay! Dario Fo, the author has managed to achieve the impossible. In true commedia d'ell arte style Can't pay? Won't pay! has characters who represent 'the servants' and 'the masters' - but who is who is left to the audience to judge.
This comedy is a true farce - improbable situations with surprising and hilarious results.
Town Hall Theatre, Campbelltown.
May 16 – 31.
Bookings: 4628 5287.
