"WE WON'T PAY! WE WON'T PAY!"

The Wilbury Group is proud to present Nobel Prize winning playwright Dario Fo’s hilarious political comedy We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! September 2-4, 2011 at Sandywoods Center for the Arts. Translated by Ron Jenkins, this farcical comedy, based on true events in a 1970’s village in Italy, uses the circumstance of a housewives’ revolt against out of control inflation to explore the issues of social hypocrisy, injustice, and liberation, with a healthy dose of hysterics thrown in for good measure.

Directed by critically acclaimed Providence theatre artist Brien Lang, and featuring performances by veteran Providence actors Clare Blackmer, Bobby Casey, Kevin Delaney, Kelly Nichols, and Dave Rabinow, and performed at the beautiful new Sandywoods Center for the Arts, this production of We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! promises to be the theatrical event of the summer.

The production travels to Sandywoods for a limited Labor Day weekend engagement fresh from a series of well-received performances in Providence. This "hilarious" play includes "a scene that could get a Buckingham Palace guard weeping with laughter. You really have to be
there to appreciate it . . ." Bill Rodriguez, The Providence Phoenix, 8/23/11.
