THERE REALLY IS A RIOT GOING ON AT THE CRIPPLE CREEK THEATRE CO.
If you think about it, a riot is kind of like a Mardis Gras parade— the participants become intoxicated, hurl things through the air at other people, and—at the end—everyone's in an orange jump suit.
Well, in observance of Mardi Gras, the Cripple Creek Theatre Company would like to invite you to a riot-related activity—Dario Fo's tour de force We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay!
Imagine, for a moment, that you are unemployed. Now imagine that you are in credit card debt. Now, while imagining those two things, also imagine that you are a woman (maybe you are, in which case, this will be easy.) And you are married.
Continue imagining these things, and now imagine that the prices of groceries have risen. What would you do?
Riot, clearly. Well, at least that's what Antonia does. She's had
enough and decides to take what is hers. And now she must figure out a way to hide the food from her law-abiding husband (if you're Andrea Jefferson, continue imagining.)
In the words of Henry Kissinger, "My friends, this is political theatre at its best." So heed his advice, and get your Mardi Gras on early this year by joining us for We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay!
Cripple Creek Theatre Company's production of Dario Fo's We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay! opened January 15 and runs Thursday, Friday and Saturdays at 8p.m. through February 7th. Tickets as always only $10.
