Accidental Death of an Anarchist

Adapted by Tom Basden from the play by Dario Fo and Franca Rame

Monday 1 - Saturday 6 December 2025

An anarchist has fallen to his death from a window whilst in police custody. But did he fall or was he pushed? As the police attempt to avoid a scandal, an irrepressible fraudster known only as the Maniac is arrested and brought in for questioning. There he dupes the officers into re-enacting the incident, exposing the corruption and idiocy at the heart of the system.

Accidental Death of an Anarchist is a new adaptation of Dario Fo and Franca Rame's riotous satire.
