How to rob a bank

Skala Theater presents another comedy, this time of the contemporary Italian theater - the timeless work of Samy Fayad "How to rob a bank!"

How to Rob a Bank is a light-hearted farcical story of a man who fails to live up to general expectations. In order to escape poverty and to win the respect of his family, Agostino, a ragpicker in Naples, who is also a would-be inventor, decides to rob a bank. And the only way to accomplish this feat is by taking along the entire family – his father, a crotchety old man hanging on to his oversized pants; a wife who helps by saying the rosary; a next-to-useless son; and a nine-month pregnant daughter in labor. They attack the bank from an underground sewer system which leads to a manhole directly in front of a bank vault containing a semi-crazed widow who was accidentally locked in overnight.
