About Accidental Death of an Anarchist

An Anarchist has fallen to his death from a police station window. But did he jump or was he thrown?

As the police prepare for an inquiry into the incident, an unhinged showman known only as the Maniac is arrested and brought into the station. Seizing the opportunity to put on a show, he leads the police in an absurd recreation of their version of events, exposing the cover-ups, corruption and profound idiocy of an institution in free-fall.

A razor-sharp satire, Tom Basden’s wickedly hilarious adaptation relocates Dario Fo’s classic farce to contemporary London.

See it if you want to see a phenomenally funny show. Clever, witty, fast paced and full of great references with a clear message throughout.

Don’t see it if you’re not in to fast paced farces or indeed, you don’t want to engage with a political message however well put across it is.
