The COMITES of Scotland and Northern Ireland is pleased to present, on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Nobel Prize-winning playwright Dario Fo:
A Woman Alone
by Dario Fo and Franca Rame
Directed and performed by Silvia Priori
Video projections by Maha Lorenz
With humour, irony and poetry, A Woman Alone explores the female experience through the character of Roberta—a wife, mother and housewife whose desires and aspirations struggle to find a voice. The play moves between comedy and drama, offering a powerful and thought-provoking portrait of a woman’s life.
Silvia Priori is an actress, theatre director and playwright. She graduated from the Piccolo Teatro School in Milan in 1987 and has dedicated many years to promoting gender equality through theatre.
The performance will be followed by a conversation with the director, moderated by Dr Giuliano Campo (Ulster University).
