Dario Fo is on

In addition to the Planet Simpsons Book, I also read a book given to me recetly by Rodopi as a gift. It's a theatrical play by Dario Fo. I generally like theatre and try to attend plays when I get the chance to, but I think I've just hit upon an artist like no other.

Dario Fo is kind of an anarchist, contradicting values that we take for granted and concepts that are the status quo in this society. It's amazing how much thought and emotion a 60-page book provoked on me. I seriously recommend you to attend any of his plays you might come accross, or at least read one of his books. You don't have to agree with him, but for sure you will find he has an interesting and unusual perspective on the world, and on theatre as such.
