Written by DARIO FO and Directed by Mr. VARUN SHARMA. Antonia and Margherita, two working-class housewives, stagger in with goods that they have stolen from the supermarket as part of a protest by local women against rising prices. Antonia is terrified that her husband Giovanni, a Communist factory-worker, will force her to return her booty. He notices Margherita’s bulging coat and is told that she is pregnant. When the police search the flat, Margherita pretends to be in labour and is carried to an ambulance. When a lorry overturns in the street, Giovanni and Luigi, who have just learned that they are losing their jobs, steal sacks of sugar. The women confess to the men that they have been stealing, and the men admit to their theft.
