Italian comic masterpiece Accidental Death of an Anarchist at Lyric Hammersmith roars into 21st century London and takes aim at the police in this furiously funny show.After an Anarchist falls to his death from a police station window, an inquiry begins. But as the police prepare, the Maniac is arrested and taken into custody. Suddenly, they are being led by this mad showman in an absurd recreation of their version of events, as cover-ups, corruption and ineptitude topple the institution like a house of cards.
