The Play: Accidental Death of

an Anarchist 《一個無政府主義者

的意外死亡》

*In 1969 Italy, a suspected terrorist was hauled in by the police. While being interrogated about a bank bombing in Milan, the man plunged to his death from a fourth-story window. Was it a suicide, an accident or a case of police brutality? 

Plot Summary

*The play opens with Inspector Bertozzo interrogating The Maniac on the first floor of the police station. The Maniac constantly outsmarts the dim-witted Bertozzo and, when Bertozzo leaves the room, intercepts a phone call from Inspector Pissani.

*The phone call lets the Maniac know that a judge is due at the police station to investigate the interrogation and death of the anarchist. The Maniac decides to impersonate the judge, and successfully does so. He gets the police to re-enact the events, in the actual fourth floor room, and also involves a woman Journalist who is trying to probe the events.

Plot Summary

*The play ends with two alternative endings, one with Feletti (the Journalist) leaving the four policemen to be bombed and in the second, Feletti uncuffs the men who in turn handcuff her to the window frame leaving her to die. The Maniac then leaves the audience to decide which ending they prefer.
