SUMMARY:Low Pay? Don't Pay!
DESCRIPTION:The Paget Rooms\, Penarth\, CF64 3EG\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 18th March 2026 – Saturday 21st March 2026\n\nLow Pay? Don’t Pay! is a whirlwind comedy from Italian Nobel Prize-winner Dario Fo that promises plenty of laughter with a cheeky dose of politics.\n\n\n\nIt all kicks off when a group of fed-up women stage a supermarket revolt\, refusing to pay sky-high prices and marching out with armfuls of “free” groceries. From there\, the chaos only grows as they try to keep their secret stash hidden from their husbands – and the law!\n\nPacked with slapstick mishaps\, quick-fire gags\, and larger than life characters\, this is a joyful farce that keeps the laughs coming whilst also shining a light on the struggles of ordinary families.\n\n\n\nHilarious\, sharp\, and full of heart\, Low Pay? Don’t Pay! is a reminder that sometimes the best way to face life’s unfairness is together — and with a good laugh.
