«Muerte accidental de un anarquista» is the play by Dario Fo, published by Orbis in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
In a Milan police station, a man posing as a judge investigates the death of an anarchist who fell from a window. Through interrogations and disguises, the farce dismantles police contradictions and criticises corruption and the manipulation of truth by power.
Written in 1970, this 1998 edition belongs to the collection El Gran Teatro del Mundo, with a translation by Carla Matteini of the original «Morte accidentale di un anarchico».
For fans of humorous theatre and political satire, with a critique of power approached through comedy.
Dario Luigi Angelo Fo was an Italian playwright, actor, theatre director, stage designer, songwriter, political campaigner for the Italian left wing and the recipient of the 1997 Nobel Prize in Literature. In his time he was "arguably the most widely performed contemporary playwright in world theatre". Much of his dramatic work depends on improvisation and comprises the recovery of "illegitimate" forms of theatre, such as those performed by giullari and, more famously, the ancient Italian style of commedia dell'arte.
