Accidental Death of an Anarchist
by Dario Fo
Adapted by Tim Supple & Alan Cumming
This amateur production of Accidental Death of an Anarchist is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
A master of disguise walks into a police station… and chaos ensues.
When a cunning con artist finds himself in police custody, he discovers something far more valuable than any heist—the perfect opportunity to turn the tables on authority itself. Armed with lightning-quick wit and a dangerous talent for impersonation, he transforms an ordinary day at the station into an extraordinary game of cat and mouse.
What begins as simple trickery evolves into something much more explosive, where every joke hides a barb, every laugh reveals a crack in the system, and nothing is quite what it seems. In this whirlwind of mistaken identities and verbal acrobatics, the question isn’t just who’s fooling whom—it’s whether anyone has the stomach for the truth when it arises.
A razor-sharp political farce that proves the most dangerous weapon isn’t a gun—it’s laughter.
