How can we look afresh at Shakespeare as a writer of sonnets? What new light might they shed on his career, personality, and sexuality?

Tre esilaranti monologhi scritti e interpretati da Dario Fo ispirandosi ai fabliaux francesi del XI-XII secolo: giullarate scurrili che, per indurre il pubblico all’ilarità più sfrenata, ricorrevano a situazioni grottesche o scabrose. Il tutto è impreziosito dalla mimica insuperabile di Fo e dall’uso del suo colorato ed espressivo dialetto padano. Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1982. Le registrazioni dalle quali è stato estratto l’audio sono del 1991 e del 2002.
