SPEEC Play Reading Series: "The Accidental Death of an Anarchist" by Dario Fo


Details
Join us for the tenth play reading of Theatre Makers' SPEEC Play Reading Series of plays with social, political, economic, and environmental change (SPEEC) themes.
We'll read online this time due to the pandemic:
- "The Accidental Death of an Anarchist" is based on the bureaucratic machinations around the case of Giuseppe Pinelli, a Milanese railway worker who in 1969 was picked up by the police, accused of railway-station bombings and who “fell” out of a fourth-floor window at police HQ (later he was finally absolved from any responsibility for the bombings).
We will read this play in honor of Italian-American Heritage month and National Anti-Police Brutality Day (we're a bit late!)
Warning: these plays include portrayals of hypocrisy, police violence, anarchism, and corruption.
Please RSVP and answer the question with your email address so that we can send you PDF files of the script.
Please arrive on time and be prepared to read the play, which will take about 3 hours. If there is time, we can discuss the play after the reading.
Everyone is welcome to read a part. If you'd prefer a particular role, please let us know in response to the RSVP question.
