Description The Fourth Wall is based on four plays by Dario Fo and Franca Rame: I'm Ulrike I'm Screaming, Alice in Wonderless Land, It Happened Tomorrow and The Whore in the Madhouse - translated into English by Gillian Hanna and presented as monologues in a single performance.

"The pieces deal with themes of women and the state, as victims, as political prisoners; women who fight back and deal with and understand their situation, even against incredible odds."
