Clips from La Fricchettona, "La Mamma Fricchettona" by Dario Fo & Franca Rame ~ NYC 2006

La Mamma Fricchettona is running from cops who are chasing her for shoplifting. She tries to escape them by dodging into a church, but the cops keep on her tail, so she hides in the church's confessional. She tries to get the priest to confess her as a playful argument ensues about the morality of shoplifting from multinational department stores, and so on.

This was performed as the 1st monologue (following an introduction in English) in the original one-woman show:

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

"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."
