Archangels Don't Play Pinball
by Dario Fo, Ron Jenkins
Awards & Recognition
Synopsis
First performed at the Bristol Old Vic, this fast moving play is one of Fo's most accomplished farces and the first to combine political satirical content in a Brechtian form that relies on paradoxical situations to make its point.
Set in the industrial outskirts of Milan, it follows a group of louts and their butt, Lofty, a simple man caught in the maze of government bureaucracy who tries to extricate himself from the pranks and petty crimes.
