'ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST'
Box Theatre

This savage and hilarious satire by Dario Fo (translated here by Ed Emery), is based on the true story of a terrorist suspect who died after 'falling out' of a window while in police custody. Fo's hero is part Marxist, part Marx Brother. He dares to ask questions that we're too afraid to ask, exposing the deceit of authority with the perfect timing of a comic genius. Successful around the world, this play has rarely been more relevant in its use of laughter as a weapon.

“A marvellous concept: a zany political farce.”
Michael Billington
