3rd – 11th February 2012 at 8pm Can't Pay Won't Pay

By Dario Fo

Directed by Eric Chorley

Anarchy, theft, class-war, and bopping the fuzz. This particular Dario Fo cracker takes its inspiration from an episode in which inflation – dogged women raided a supermarket, either taking the goods or paying a “fair price” – is a very topical theme and Dario Fo gives even the wildest gags a political flavour.
