PRESENTS:
Francis the Holy Jester staring Mario Pirovano. Written and directed by Dario Fo. Translated and performed by Mario Pirovano
A celebration of life, liberty, truth and devotion - the story of Saint Francis of Assisi. Italy's most important living playwright shows us some remarkable episodes from the life of one of the world's best-loved saints. Performed by Mario Pirovano, Fo's great friend and collaborator, the play is a delightful slice of life, medieval Italy, full of relevance for our lives today. A tale that brings together courtiers, Popes, Cardinals, generals and peasants, Saints and sinners, and Jesus himself in a great pageant of characters brought to life through a remarkable performance that sparks the imagination and delights the soul. ‘This production is the most entertaining and funny history lesson you could hope to see, given a captivating performance by the charismatic Pirovano.’
