Italian playwright Dario Fo’s satirical farce is given a thoroughly satisfying and amusing treatment. It is a picture of the straightforward and criminally honest in the face of the complex and sordid affairs of the wealthy. A petty Burglar breaks into the flat of a wealthy councillor, believing the family within to be out of town. What follows is a night of scandalous proportions, with unexpected arrivals, surprise extramarital affairs, and complex arrays of ‘misunderstandings.’ Each new character’s arrival adds another layer to the plot, until marriages, reputations and lives are at stake! Laugh at each new abuse laid upon the burglar. Marvel at the audacity of Mr Frachosi as he pulls outrageous lies seemingly out of thin air, and try to decipher the complex inner workings of the Burglar’s wife as she imagines a new scandal every minute.
