Va in scena per la prima volta nel 1969. La registrazione dalla quale è stato estratto l'audio è del 1977.

La storia di un matrimonio "democratico" e "progressista" vissuto sulla scia di un Sessantotto interpretato in maniera discutibile, dove le spinte alla liberazione sessuale e al rifiuto dei tabù e delle convenzioni "borghesi" si scontrano con gli equivoci di una morale ipocrita.

Tre esilaranti monologhi scritti e interpretati da Dario Fo ispirandosi ai fabliaux francesi del XI-XII secolo: giullarate scurrili che, per indurre il pubblico all’ilarità più sfrenata, ricorrevano a situazioni grottesche o scabrose.

Le registrazioni dalle quali è stato estratto l’audio sono del 1991 e del 2002.
