Did he jump? Or was he pushed?

Written by Italian satirist and Nobel Laureate Dario Fo, the play asks all the important questions about the fishy circumstances surrounding an anarchist's 'accidental' fall from a police building window. Accidental Death of an Anarchist delves into the depths of corruption and pokes fun at bureaucracy gone mad, so prepare yourself for a non-stop, frantic, fantastical, farcical ride into controversy and confusion. Based on the true story of an Italian case of an anarchist who ‘fell' from the window of a police building following interrogation in 1969.
