Brings together three major political plays, "Accidental Death of an Anarchist", "Mistero Buffo" and "Trumpets and Raspberries", along with two previously unpublished short farces - "The Virtuous Burglar" and "One was Nude and One Wore Tails".
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.
