Description We Can't Pay? We won't Pay! written by Dario Fo, was based on a widespread movement in northern Italy n the early 1970s to reduce essential living expenses. The movement was instigated by rank-and-file union members and immediately picked up by working people throughout the country.
Liquids by Lucia Poli is included in the programme. "The play is a comprehensive happening, it must be lived, if it is lived, it has everything not only intellectual understanding, but also psychological rejection in the face of certain problems, or emotional participation in the face of something which is vaguely understood but does not terrify us and which one is disposed to accept."
