Accidental Death of an Anarchist

by Dario Fo & Franca Rame. Adapted by Tom Basden


An Anarchist has fallen to his death from a police station window. The question is: did he jump or was he thrown? As the police attempt to avoid yet another scandal, a mysterious imposter is arrested and brought in for questioning.

Seizing the chance to put on a show, he leads the officers in an ever more ridiculous reconstruction of their official account, hilariously exposing the cover-ups, corruption and profound idiocy at the heart of the police.

Tom Basden's acclaimed adaptation from 2022 brings this brilliantly witty farce right up to date by switching the action to  a North London police station.
