Synopsis
Twenty monologues for women
Twenty monologues in this volume which range from the deeply serious to the extravagantly comic and accessible to a wide range of audiences "The pieces are comic, grotesque, on purpose. First of all because we women have been crying for two thousand years. So let's laugh now, even at ourselves" - Franca Rame

About the Authors
For over thrity years Dario Fo, oftern in collaboration with his wife Franca Rame, has led the field in political satire in Europe. Outside Italy, Fo's comedies are often adapted to reflect local political conditions, but the essence remains the same. Capitalism, imperialism and corruption within government are typical targets for hilarious, ideologically-inspired attacks on the establishment. Drawing on all forms of popular theatre, Fo's international reputation as an actor, mime and director equals that of his writing. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1997.
Franca Rame (b. 1928, Parabagio, Italy) is a playwright and actress. Married to Dario Fo, she co-founded their Dario Fo-Franca Rame Theatre Company in Milan: Rame was its leading actress and chief administrator while Fo was the director and writer. In the 1970s, Rame began writing plays of her own with a distinctively feminist angle, reflecting her engagement with contemporary politics.
