Known as 'Europe's most performed play,' THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST is a gleefully zany anti-authoritarian farce about a defiant trickster who uses a series of wacky Bugs-Bunny-esque schemes to unmask a nest of police corruption and stick it to the man in the most uproariously funny ways.
Drawing on the age-old traditions of Italy's commedia dell'arte performance techniques, this fast-paced comedy offers a whirlwind of mistaken identities, prat-falls, verbal zingers, and mental gymnastics to complement its unflinchingly revolutionary message. It's entertainment, empowerment, and agitation all rolled into one!
Throughout the thousands of performances of THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST since it first premiered in Italy in 1970, the play has constantly been revised, updated, and re-interpreted to speak to the current events of the place and time of each rendition. In keeping with that approach, our version is set in Manhattan in the immediate aftermath of the police attack on Occupy Wall Street just nine months ago.
