Can't Pay? Won't Pay!

Can't Pay? Won't Pay! (1999) was a theatre production by Nordland Theatre in collaboration with The Norwegian Touring Theatre, based on the play by Dario Fo. It opened in Bodø prior to being performed on tour, first in the county of Nordland, then the rest of the country.

Frode Rasmussen directed it. He had acted in the same play for The Arctic Theatre in 1978.

The Nordland Theatre production was the first production of a Dario Fo play after he received The Nobel Prize in Literature in 1997. The production became the most visited production for adults in Nordland Theatre's history at the time.
