Dario Fo’s ‘Accidental Death of an Anarchist’ 

Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist is a masterful work of political farce, blending biting satire with physical comedy to expose systemic corruption and authoritarian abuse. Exploring the parallels between the rhythms, gestures, and physicality of Fo’s characters and the maschere (stock types) of Commedia offers valuable insights into the play’s humour and theatricality.
