The Virtuous Burglar by Dario Fo
The author of 'Accidental Death of an Anarchist' locks seven characters in an apartment they would rather not be discovered in and watches as they trample over each other trying to get out.
A clever and lively performance and beautiful design: a winner
This splendid production of Dario Fo’s farce is a joy from start to finish. When a cat burglar breaks into an apartment he unwittingly precipitates a crisis involving himself, his suspicious wife and three adulterous couples. It’s a clever pastiche of the locked room mystery in which the titular criminal is the least guilty party. Lively performances, handsome postwar period design and a palpable air of the absurd ensure this is a winner.
