Accidental Death of an Anarchist *2008*
Dario Fo Translated by Simon Nye

Director Gari Jones | Designer Sara Perks

This great comic cascade of contempt and political analysis is led by a Maniac, a talented and quick thinking mimic with a real gift of the gab. A Master of Disguise and able to take control of any situation by turning into somebody else, the Maniac runs rings round the authorities in his quest for the facts.
Packed with razor sharp quips, this hilarious farce cuts to the heart of political corruption and exposes the manipulation of information by the media to tell the true story of an Italian anarchist who mysteriously fell to his death from the window
of a police station.
From the writer behind Men Behaving Badly, Simon Nye’s version of Dario Fo’s great satire about police brutality and underground activism in 1970’s Italy has been updated and relocated to contemporary Britain.
Where the forces of law order a society in such a way that journalist’s investigative skills are perverted by the need for a scandal, it takes a madman to reveal the truth!
From £8.50
