'The quality that makes Fo uniquely powerful ...[is] the ability to wring
wild laughter out of insidious corruption' Guardian 'Simon Nye's witty
translation updates and relocates the play ...suitably close to
contemporary England. Fo is that rare thing, a far-left playwright with a
popular, comic touch. And his stinging attack upon the black arts of
government cover-up, manipulation and mendacity could not be more
timely' Evening Standard In its first two years of production, Dario
Fo's controversial farce, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, was seen by
over half a million people.
It has since been performed all over
the world and is widely recognised as a classic of modern drama. A
sharp and hilarious satire on political corruption, it concerns the case
of an anarchist railway worker who, in 1969, 'fell' to his death from a
police headquarters window. This version of the play was premiered at
the Donmar Warehouse, London, in February 2003.
