Accidental Death 
of An Anarchist

by Dario Fo
20 February - 18 April 2003

Dario Fo’s classic farce was a sensation when it premiered in Italy over 30 years ago. Based on the true story of a political activist who ‘fell’ to his death from the window of a police office, the original production was seen by over half a million people.

Rhys Ifans plays the celebrated role of the maniac; a one-man carnival who re-opens the inquiry into the anarchist’s death with hilarious and devastating results.

This incisive satire about police corruption, media manipulation and political shenanigans, is given a thrilling new translation by Simon Nye.
