Can’t Pay Won’t Pay (1986)
by Dario Fo adapted by Rob Walker
Based on an actual incident which took place in Tuscany in 1974, Can’t Pay Won’t Pay is the story of two women who take part in a supermarket raid in protest against ever rising prices. They get home with half a ton of half-inched food, there’s no room to hide it, the police are searching for it, and their straight-laced husbands are due back from work and…oh no, a knock at the door! And the rest is hysteria.
