Dario Fo Quotes
It's not bad at all, getting a Nobel and making so many old fossils explode with rage.
"Dario Fo, 90, Playwright Who Won Nobel With Jests, Dies." The New York Times, 13 Oct. 2016.
Dario Luigi Angelo Fo was an Italian actor, playwright, comedian, singer, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter, painter, political campaigner for the Italian left wing and the recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his time he was "arguably the most widely performed contemporary playwright in world theatre". Much of his dramatic work depends on improvisation and comprises the recovery of "illegitimate" forms of theatre, such as those performed by giullari (medieval strolling players) and, more famously, the ancient Italian style of commedia dell'arte.
