"Only House, Bed and Church"

The "master" of socio-political comedy Dario Fo together with his muse Franca Rame have managed to give, through their comic-grotesque look, a masterpiece in the international repertoire.
With a deep knowledge of female psychology, they succeed in creating a work that, although it is troubling, at the same time entertains you !!!!

A few words about the plot
"A woman alone"
She is the stereotypical housewife, the wife of a man who provides her with everything, washing machine, refrigerator, steam iron, etc.
Home alone all day with a sex-crazed brother-in-law, a peeping tom across the street and a perverted prankster on the phone suffocates ....
While chatting with the neighbour she will tell us a love story... untold... exciting.

"Mama Freak"
A woman, in order to escape the police chase during a demonstration, enters a church and pretends to confess.
This is a woman who, when her beloved son grew up, got involved in politics and started to participate in demonstrations and was attacked by the police.
In order to protect her anarchist son, she is forced to run with him at demonstrations and as a result she is constantly in trouble with the law !!!!
All the incidents she experiences, both comical and more or less violent, are satirized through her narration to her confessor.
