“Funny? There has to be a stronger word? Funny? If I wasn't sitting down, I'd have fallen over. I mean, at one point I was crying.” SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

 “A ferociously funny piece of political theatre...” TIME OUT SYDNEY ★★★★

"Expertly executed farce... There's physical comedy to rival anything you'd see on TV's greatest farce, Fawlty Towers... There's also one big directorial choice in the second act which shifts the way we see the action entirely ... it's a masterstroke." Ben Neutze for TIME OUT ★★★★

"[A] delicious production by Sarah Giles... a very funny show" THE AUSTRALIAN

“A complete joy to watch... Liberation takes many forms in this stellar offering which contorts riotously for two hours to hit the frontal lobe along with the funny bone.” ARTSHUB ★★★★★

“A riotous, ridiculous delight with a sting in its tail… I haven’t heard an audience laugh so loud for a long time.” LIMELIGHT MAGAZINE ★★★★

"This production of Dario Fo's satirical farce is among the funniest Sydney Theatre Company has put to the stage in years.” AUDREY JOURNAL ★★★★

 “No Pay? No Way! is a frenzy of laughs.” 2CH ★★★★^1/2

“Director Sarah Giles’ rendering of the play is relentlessly energetic, for scenes of hilarity that tickle us from start to end. Although the laughs are incessant, hearty and thoroughly enjoyable, not one moment goes by that lets us forget the politics being discussed.” SUZY GOES SEE
