MISTERO BUFFO
By
Dario Fo

Translated by ED EMERY
Directed by Jud Charlton
production concepts Desmond O’Leary
Virtual set designer Chris McKeeman
puppitition Kevin Griffith

Some forty million people throughout the world have watched Dario Fo perform this brilliant one man show. Displaying the same subversive wit of his notorious West End hits, Accidental Death of an Anarchist and Can’t Play Won’t Pay! These ‘comic mysteries’ recreate the irreverent vitality of the popular mediaeval theatre. Based on careful research into the work of strolling players of mediaeval Italy, these short excursions into the lives of these characters are hilarious. This production has a cast of six performers, live puppetry and virtual sets.

A mad cap tragi-comic view of all the characters who didn’t quite make it into the bible.

Running at The Courtyard Theatre 40 Pitfield st N1 6EU from 11.08.09-31.08.09
