Accidental Death of an Anarchist

Accidental Death of an Anarchist

Signal Ensemble Theatre
1802 West Berenice Ave Chicago

A bomb blast in a bank kills dozens and injures over a hundred, and the police pick up a professed anarchist for questioning. While being interrogated, he "accidentally" falls out of a fourth floor window. Based on this true event which marked the beginning of a decade of state-sponsored terror, Nobel Award-winner Fo’s play is a hilariously scathing satire that uses brutally funny violence and tragic wit to shine a light on the terrifying lengths governments will go to preserve their grip on power.
