Yo, Ulrike, Grito... is an Italian play in one act by Franca Rame (1929-2013) and Dario Fo (1926-2016).
The title is sometimes written in various other ways, including Yo Ulrike ... Grito and Yo Ulrike grito'
Contents
The original text
Structured as a statement from prison by the German radical Ulrike Meinhoff in which we see her mind filled to the point of nausea with sinister, oppressive, brutish images of the power apparatus of the German state.
Translations and adaptations
Like the orignal Italian title, the title is also translated into English in a variety of versions, e.g. I'm Ulrike - Screaming (translation by Gillian Hanna), I Cry Ulrike (translation by Adam Leipzig) and as I, Ulrike, Cry (for the South African production). The latter was a translation of the 1983 revised version of the original play, rendered in English by Toni Mitchell.
In 2015 the play was made into a Spanish film short called Yo, Ulrike, grito, directed by Karlos Aurrekoetxea[1]
