Accidental Death of an Anarchist

Title: Accidental Death of an Anarchist
Author: Fo, Dario (ranslated by Gillian Hanna)
Price: $23.95

'In its first two years of production in Italy, Dario Fo''s notorious Accidental Death of an Anarchist was seen by over half a million people. It has since been performed all over the world, and become a classic of twentieth-century drama. A sharp and hilarious satire on police corruption, it concerns the case of an anarchist railway worker who, in 1969, ''fell'' to his death from a police headquarters window.

I ought to warn you that the author of this sick little play, Dario Fo, has the traditional, irrational hatred of the police common to all narrowminded left-wingers and so I shall, no doubt, be the unwilling butt of endless anti-authoritarian jibes. (Inspector Bertozzo, Central Italian Police HQ)

A marvellous concept: a zany political farce. (Michael Billington)'
