review on ‘Washingtontimes’
‘In his delightful “Holy Jester,” ably translated by Mario Pirovano, Mr. Fo has taken the mythic St. Francis of Assisi and transformed him from the sweet plaster saint of the Catholic Church into the boisterous man he really was, who scourged authority and upheld the dignity of the downtrodden’ (Corinna Lothar)
