Play Reading of Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo

At a police station in Milan, Inspector Bertozzo is interrogating a certified madman about a series of frauds. Unfortunately for the policeman, the madman is far more quick-witted than he is, spotting an opportunity to evade the consequences of his crimes and wreak havoc on the police force in the process.

Having outsmarted Bertozzo, the madman impersonates a judge, who is investigating the death of an anarchist. The anarchist apparently fell to his death from a fourth story window at the police station. The police claim he fell accidentally. Or he jumped accidentally. (If that's a thing.)

As the madman begins to unravel the police station’s attempted cover-up of the death, he affects various other personas that help expose the police officers’ incompetence and corruption.

Reading will be held in Matt's loungeroom on Ijburg. Please send an email to contact@inplayers.org for more information. You do not need to be an InPlayers member to attend a play reading and there is no charge. Please bring yourself something to drink and some snacks to share.
