Mistero buffo

Ugo Guanda Editore, January 2018, pp.422

The Guanda publishing house presents a great editorial project: the complete, regular publishing of the entire theatrical works of Nobel prize winner Dario Fo; an oeuvre that is characterised by immense inventive richness and deeply original form.

The most widely performed and best known of his plays, which has continually been met with praise from the public during its 50,000 productions in Italy and abroad. A perfect mechanism for the stage that is distinctive in its irony, sarcasm and parody. A political satire that tells the silent, age-old story of the lower classes crushed by power but capable of mocking it.
A new complete edition with a never-before-published prologue by the author.

During the course of 2018 the following works have been published:
Sant’Ambrogio e l’invenzione di Milano (Saint Ambrose and the Invention of Milan) Morte accidentale di un anarchico (Accidental Death of an Anarchist)
Ruzzante (Romping)
Arlecchino (Harlequin)

The following works will be published during the following years:
Non si paga! Non si paga! (We Wont’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!)
Il Papa e la Strega (The Pope and The Witch)
Johan Padan a la descoverta de le americhe (Johan Padan and the Discovery of the Americas) Sotto paga? Non si Paga! (Can’t Pay? Wont’t Pay!)
Il paese di Mezerat (The Country of Mezerat)
Clacson, trombette e pernacchi (Trumpets and Raspberries)
La resurrezione di Lazzaro (The Resurrection of Lazarus)

Dario Fo

Dario Fo (1926-2016) graduated from the Accademia delle Belle Arti di Brera in Milano, and emerged in Italy’s cultural circles, especially those linked to the theatre, where he became a great maestro thanks to his strong satirical skills and the farcical nature of his texts. This signature style characterized his entire career, which culminated in 1997 when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The public in Italy and abroad has always welcomed the political satire and the folk backdrop that dominated all of his works.
