We Won't Pay! We Won't Pay! and Other Works: The Collected Plays of Dario Fo, Volume One

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature

In the words of his translator, Ron Jenkins: The Nobel committee's decision to honor Fo as a master of literature is a historic tribute to the theatre, which is still viewed by many as literature's bastard child; it is also the first time that the Nobel for the literary arts has been awarded to an actor. This courageous and controversial choice indirectly expands the modern definition of literature to include the power of the spoken word.

Volume One includes:
We Won't Pay We Won't Pay
Elizabeth
Archangels Don't Play Pinball
About Face
