LOW PAY? DON'T PAY!
By Dario Fo
Directed by Penni Carr
Dario Fo’s Low Pay? Don’t Pay! is a fast-paced political farce following two couples pushed to the brink by rising living costs.
After a spontaneous rebellion at a supermarket to protest against unfair prices, Antonia finds herself engulfed by chaos as she tries to hide her stolen goods from her law-abiding husband.
Packed with satire, physical humour, and meaningful social commentary, the play exposes the impacts of economic inequality while celebrating solidarity, resilience, and the power of collective action.
