as usual , the plot of a play by Dario For is just an excuse to tell / report a problem of social type.
In this case we speak dell'attualissima economic crisis around the world and, of course, the blame is given to " masters" who, like vampires, sucking the blood of the poor people.
Antonia and John are a married couple. She was fired a year and can not find work, he works in a factory that is likely to close due to bankruptcy. One day
Antonia back from the supermarket with dozens of shopping bags and her friend reveals that there has been a huge sack because of the price but can not tell John that I have all the goods without having paid because would never have approved.
When police and the police begin to search for all homes the area, the problems begin for Antonia.
And 'course, a kind of show of its kind, will be appreciated by an audience mainly of the left (although there are criticisms of the PD), but personally, I would recommend it to anyone because, beyond the message that can be more or less acceptable, the comic situations that are created are really hilarious, typical of the Commedia dell'Arte.
Dario For has always been called a fool and this style is also reflected in the directing and writing, creating characters totally surreal and caricaturist.
Marina Massironi is quite formidable but I must say that I greatly revalued Antonio Catania, rather than an actor, is been making a real modern comic buffoon even more feeble jokes.
director decided apt choice and acceptable (at least by me) has been to make the scene changes to the same actors, with a background music (provided by Dario For), emerging from the fifth to move their characters and the various objects stage and that to interpret the policeman, the policeman, the undertaker, the father of John and the banker at the actor: an extraordinary Sergio Valastro (or at least I think it was because he did not appear on the site of the theater names of the characters close to those of the actors). This
to emphasize on the one hand the lack of money, as if to say the economic crisis we feel we , and second, though, there's a return to the aforementioned Commedia dell'Arte in which the actors themselves today to change scenes and interpret multiple roles by simply changing the mask.
If there's one thing I did not like, it was the final (or rather, the post-final).
actors have stopped acting and started to list all of Italy's problems turning the show into a rally. It was up to me, I closed the curtain first 5 minutes, but, after all, this was to be expected by Dario For.
