The Open Couple - Wikipedia Throughout the s and s, he took to lampooning Forza Italia and its leader Silvio Berlusconiwhile his targets Elizabeth the s included the Fo Plays: Cant Pay? Wont Pay! amid the European sovereign-debt crisis. Also in the s, he became the main ideologue of the Five Star Movementthe anti- establishment party led by Beppe Grillo[9] often referred to by its members as " the Master ". Non Si Paga! Can't Pay? Won't Pay! His receipt of the Nobel Prize in Literature marked the "international acknowledgment of Fo as a major figure in twentieth- century world theatre". Fo was an atheist. Among the places in which Fo lived during his early years was Porto Valtravagliaa glassblowing colony in which, it has been claimed, Fo Plays: Cant Pay? Wont Pay! the highest percentage of insane people in Italy. At age 16, Fo was part of the last generation of soldiers drafted by the fascist army of Mussolini's Repubblica Sociale Italiana. Years later, when questioned about his affiliation, Fo explained Fo Plays: Cant Pay? Wont Pay! he initially opted to adopt a low profile because his family was active in the anti-fascist Resistance. Fo secretely helped his father to smuggle refugees and Allied soldiers to Switzerland by disguising them as Lombard peasants. He was mistaken and was instead dispatched to a camp in Monza at which Benito Mussolini himself arrived. Fo soon deserted with the aid of false documents and wandered for a while before joining a parachute squadron. He then deserted this as well, prompting a further unsuccessful search for the Resistance movement during which he slept rough in the countryside. After the war Fo returned to the Brera Academy, also taking up architectural studies at the Politecnico di Milano. InFo asked to work with Franco Parenti on a variety show performed by radio actors, beginning a collaboration that would last until Fo delighted audiences with stories of his upbringing, which Parenti was very impressed by, describing them as "absolutely original, with an extraordinary humour, wit and personification. When the show was over we'd go for walks round the lake and he'd tell me more stories. In this way we originated a project in which we would work together on a new type of revue, one which didn't copy reality, but which involved people and took a stand. Fo created 18 adult fairy tale monologues adapted from biblical and historical tales. The series also featured Shakespearean tales with various twists, such as a version of The Open Couple An Ordinary Day v. 2 in which the titular character kills his father to continue an affair with his mother ; Ophelia is portrayed as Hamlet's uncle 's transvestite mistress, while Horatio plays the ghost of Hamlet's father dressed up as a sheet and only appears when Hamlet is drunk. The series also featured an albino Othello and a sadistic Juliet who keeps Romeo in her garden with savage dogs. Nevertheless, Fo performed it on stage at the Teatro Odeon in Milan inwhich allowed him to develop the gesture and action not required for radio. InFo—in collaboration with Parenti and Durano in their own revue company which they called I Dritti The Stand-ups —co-wrote, co-directed and designed the sets and costumes for a revue called Il dito nell'occhio A finger in the eye. He collaborated with Fiorenzo Carpi ; all of Fo's plays as far as would feature Carpi's music. Fo met Franca Ramedaughter of a theatrical family, when they were working in the revue Sette giorni a Milano. They became engaged, and married on 24 June They had a son, Jacopo born 31 Marchwho would also become a writer. With the break-up of I dritti due to financial failure, Fo and family moved to Rome where he hoped to gain work as a screenwriter in the cinema. Rame worked in Teatro Stabile of Bolzano. In the film, Fo plays "a disoriented hotel porter cast adrift in a neo-capitalist Milan of skyscrapers and modern technology". Inthe couple returned to Milan when Rame was offered roles in a series of farces at the Arlecchino Theatre. Working Fo Plays: Cant Pay? Wont Pay! screenplays gave me an apprenticeship as a playwright and I was able to transfer the lessons of the new technical means to the theatre". The foundation of the Compagnia Fo-Rame dates from this time. Fo wrote scripts, acted, directed, and designed costumes and stage paraphernalia. Rame took care of the administration. Fo used the show to give Italians a glimpse of a type of television resembling the origins of theatre, far removed from the "junk TV" previously produced by the company. However, it was frequently censored. One sketch featured a fat aunt who came to visit her nephew at his workplace a canned meat factory only to The Open Couple An Ordinary Day v. 2 into a machine and come out as mincemeat, which the nephew retained in a cupboard at home and often displayed to friends: this led to complaints from canned meat producers and "industrialists in general"—though none from aunts, Fo later observed. The show's eighth episode—which referenced the dangerous conditions faced by workers on building Elizabeth to a dispute with the programme's producers, and prompted Fo and Rame to walk out on 29 November RAI maintained Fo Plays: Cant Pay? Wont Pay! would not broadcast the sketch as it risked further inflaming the annoyance of building workers' unions at working conditions. National uproar ensued over this Elizabeth, with headlines in the daily newspapers and questions in the Italian parliament. The dispute led to the effective banning of Fo and Rame from Italian television for 14 years. Fo returned to Milan's Teatro Odeon with the play Isabella, tre caravelle e un cacciaballe Isabella, Three Sailing Ships and a Con Manconsidered "an attempt to demystify and debunk the traditional history-book image" of Christopher Columbus. Fo said: "I wanted to attack those Italian intellectuals who, with the centre-left and the Socialist Party in the government, had discovered power and its advantages and leapt on it like rats on a piece of cheese.
