The Accidental Death of an Anarchist

The Higher National Diploma Performing Arts students proudly present, The Accidental Death of an Anarchist.

An irrepressible fraudster known only as the Maniac is brought into the RUC Police Headquarters just as the officers are preparing for a judicial review of the recent 'accidental' death of a suspect in custody.

Outwitting his captors, the Maniac dupes them into performing a farcical recreation of the incident, exposing the absurd corruption and terrifying idiocy at the heart of the system.

Both deeply political and utterly hilarious... a biting indictment of law enforcement in 1970s Northern Ireland; a comic work for the ages with a script packed with zingers... a masterclass in how to combine social issues and comedy.

Dario Fo and Franca Rame's riotous satire has been widely performed around the world since its premiere in 1970.  

Dates: 15th 16th and 17th May.
