Donne! Donne! Donne!

(Women! Women! Women!)

Ugo Guanda Editore, March 2026, pp.239

Published in occasion of the centenary of Nobel prize winner Dario Fo’s birth, this volume brings together ten plays and monologues written jointly with Franca Rame, celebrating women in all their complexity.

With their unmistakable and outspoken language, Fo and Rame challenge hypocrisy and social taboos, exploring the many facets of the female world. These pieces give voice to women who embody the doubts, obsessions, and contradictions of the “other half of the sky.”

They portray mothers struggling with difficult children, wives facing anxiety and insecurity, and young women discovering their sexuality, as well as stories of loneliness and relationships, both traditional and unconventional, of abuse and violated bodies, and of resistance and rebellion.

A work of striking contemporary relevance, speaking directly to younger generations and addressing issues still surrounded by silence and hypocrisy, through a bold and irreverent language that breaks conventions and mocks taboos.

Franca Rame

Franca Rame (1929–2013), born into a family with a long theatrical tradition, made her stage debut practically at birth. In 1958, together with Dario Fo, she founded a theatre company that achieved extraordinary success throughout Europe. She wrote tragic and satirical plays on the condition of women and worked on the writing of all of Fo’s theatrical works; in the 1970s she played a leading role in major political and civil struggles. In 2006 she was elected to the Italian Senate.

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.
