Bloomsbury USA, Mar 9, 1992 - Drama - 382 pages


Mistero Buffo, or The Comic Mysteries, is based on research into mediaeval mystery plays; The Accidental Death of an Anarchist concerns the "accidental" (or not) death of an anarchist railwork who "fell" (or was pushed) to his death from a police headquarters window in 1969; Trumpets and Raspberries is "A deeply subversive farce" (The Guardian) in which the boss of Italy's biggest car manufacturer FIAT, is mistaken for a left wing terrorist.

Review: Plays 1: Mistero Buffo / Accidental Death of an Anarchist / Trumpets and Raspberries / The Virtuous Burglar / One Was Nude and One Wore Tails

User Review  - Chris - Goodreads

This is the power of theater: making deeply passionate political statements so damn funny that ever the dissenters need to laugh. Fo turns socio-polical/religious themes and presents them in the classical form of farce to make the absurdity of contemporary hubris pop even more. Read full review
