Accidental Death of an Anarchist

by Dario Fo
Directed by Alexander Gelman
Translated by Ed Emery
"A political farce written by Dario Fo that explores themes of state corruption and the absurdity of authority. Set in a police station in Milan, the play follows a character known as the Maniac, who impersonates various officials to expose the dubious circumstances surrounding the death of an anarchist, Giuseppe Pinelli, who fell from a police headquarters window in 1969. The narrative unfolds through comedic chaos as the Maniac's antics reveal inconsistencies in the official police report, showcasing the manipulation of truth for political gain." -- EBSCO
