The beautiful Franca Rame - Italian playwright, actress, activist, and Dario Foβs other half on stage and on the page.
She co-wrote and performed fearless feminist farces like A Woman Alone that turned rage into riotous laughter. She used theatre as a weapon β for women, for truth.
βBut what I would like to keep telling women, even after my death, is never to lose respect for themselves, to have dignity. Always.β ~ Franca Rame

One woman. One stage. One week to go. π
A Woman Alone with its razor - sharp text - a blend of satire and raw emotion - remains as urgent today as when it was written. As we celebrate Dario Foβs 100th birth anniversary, this production honours his legacy as a playwright who used theatre as a weapon for social justice.

One woman. One stage. One month to go. π
A Woman Alone is a searing, darkly comedic masterpiece that explores themes of isolation , resilience and takes a look at how one woman searches for liberation from societies suffocating grip.
