The Virtuous Burglar
The Virtuous Burglar is a one-act play by Dario Fo
A Feydau-style farce in which a burglar who is in the act of burgling the house is interrupted by the arrival of a couple - who are in fact having an affair. The farcical complications that ensue also involve the arrival of the burglar's wife. In the end, as they are all arguing among themselves, yet another burglar arrives to burgle the flat. [1]
