«Muerte accidental de un anarquista» is the play by Dario Fo, published by Hiru Argitaletxea in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
«Muerte accidental de un anarquista» is based on the real case of a railway worker arrested after the Piazza Fontana bombing in Milan in 1969 and killed falling from a police station; Dario Fo premiered the play the following year and turns it into a corrosive farce about police manipulation of reality.
Original Italian title: «Morte accidentale di un anarchico» (1970). This 1997 edition belongs to the SKENE collection, number 7.
For those interested in satirical theatre and political criticism with historical background.
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.
