Can't Pay Won't Pay presented by Gwydion Theatre Company at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Buzz Center Stage - Recommended

"...“Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay!" by Dario Fo is incredibly funny and a complete surprise. I’d seen one other hilarious play based on a Daniel Fo script, “Accidental Death of a Black Chicago Motorist,” but that liberally adapted work by The Conspirators hadn’t prepared me for how funny this 1997 Nobel Laureate’s writing is."

Third Coast Review - Somewhat Recommended

"...Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay! is directed by Nena Martins with a script translated and adapted by Ember Sappington. The play does a good job of expressing the playwright’s messages, but lacks the comic touch one might expect of a farce. Gwydion is presenting the play in a small studio space on the second floor of the Greenhouse Theater Center."

NewCity Chicago - Somewhat Recommended

"...Director Nena Martins and the young and promising Gwydion Theatre Company didn’t have the time necessary to explore and extract whatever universal messages are hidden within this highly topical work. The result is a farce that never finds its rhythm and flow, built around a situation that never seems either believable or quite comprehensible. What’s more, Ember Sappington’s new translation manages to convey a nowhere-land dramatic universe where the expressive quality of Italian speech is swamped by American linguistic crudeness."
