From the original one-woman show La Fricchettona, 3 monologues by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, this is the transition in which the outcast mother of "La Mamma Fricchettona" transforms into the middle-class mother of "Una Madre (A Mother)". The carrying and dropping of the Communist flag is allegorical for the social movement of 1960s-1970s Italy, when the growing belief in social transformation turned into a paralyzing disbelief, amidst the devastating violence and terrorism that erupted from radical groups on both the left and right political sides.

LA FRICCHETTONA
3 Monologues by Dario Fo and Franca Rame
- La Mamma Fricchettona (1977)
- Una Madre (1980)
- Lo Stupro (1975)

Performed by Sandi Higgins
Directed by Orietta Crispino
at Theaterlab NYC November 10-20, 2006

"La Fricchettona presents three portraits of women in Italy during an extraordinary time of recent history. Dario Fo and Franca Rame's unique ability to distill and summarize the social environment is evident here in three of their more dramatic texts."
