A Happy Woman

by Dario Fo & Franka Rama

'No, I am not complaining! I feel at my best in my small apartment…I have every thing I want. My husband treats me like a queen, and I have nothing missing…I have every…Oh, my God, I have…a refrigerator…yes, I know that refrigerators have become common…but mine makes round ice cubes! I have a washing machine with 24 different program settings, and a dryer. You have to see for yourself how it dries the clothes!...Sometimes I have to wet them again in order to be able to iron them because they come out bone-dry…I have non-stick pots and pans…Every room is fully furnished…and there is music in every room…So what more do I need in this life? I am only a woman! Yes, I did have a maid…but she ran away…I hired another one, but she also ran away…All women run away from my home…What?...Oh no, not because of me!'
