Accidental Death of an Anarchist

One of the best-known plays by the Italian Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo, Accidental Death of an Anarchist is a stinging political satire on government corruption and incompetence.  Based on a true event, it’s the story of “Maniac”, a compulsively role-playing loony who has been in and out of mental institutions most of his life, and who cleverly seizes the opportunity to impersonate a judge re-investigating the case of an anarchist’s fatal fall from a fourth-floor window while being interrogated by the police.  The "Maniac” skillfully and mercilessly dissects the cops’ inconsistent cover stories and generally outwits them at every turn.
