Dario Fo

REVIEW: The NSW HSC Online pages offer useful Internet links and often include bibliographies and background information to a topic, making this a good starting point for research. The Dario Fo Pages include a chronological biography (although the Nobel Prize site is more detailed), an article giving historical background the political and social aspects of Fo's work, a short booklist and a link to the Nobel site. NSW HSC Online is an information network for the High School Certificate. The project is sponsored by Charles Stuart University, which raises issues of widening access and preparing students for further study (New South Wales, Australia).
