Have Dario Fo and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala both received a Nobel Prize in Literature?
Dario Fo Dario Fo (] ; 24 March 1926 – 13 October 2016) was an Italian actor–playwright, comedian, singer, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter, painter, political campaigner for the Italian left-wing and the recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his time he was "arguably the most widely performed contemporary playwright in world theatre". Much of his dramatic work depends on improvisation and comprises the recovery of "illegitimate" forms of theatre, such as those performed by "giullari" (medieval strolling players) and, more famously, the ancient Italian style of "commedia dell'arte".
