In its first two years of production in Italy, Dario Fo's notorious Accidental Death of an Anarchist was seen by over half a million people. It has since been performed all over the world, and become a classic of twentieth-century drama. A sharp and hilarious satire on police corruption, it concerns the case of an anarchist railway worker who, in 1969, 'fell' to his death from a police headquarters window. 'I ought to warn you that the author of this sick little play, Dario Fo, has the traditional, irrational hatred of the police common to all narrowminded left-wingers and so I shall, no doubt, be the unwilling butt of endless anti-authoritarian jibes.' (Inspector Bertozzo, Central Italian Police HQ) 'A marvellous concept: a zany political farce.' (Michael Billington) This edition has been adapted by Gavin Richards from Gillian Hanna's translation and features an introduction by Stuart Hood and a preface by Dario Fo.

Mock-gothic children's drama set in Victorian England, based on the novel by Joan Aiken. Bonnie (Emily Hudson) and her cousin Sylvia (Aleks Darowska) are left at home in Willoughby Hall while their parents travel abroad, with only the servants and the prowling wolves for company. Things get even worse for the girls when evil-looking governess Miss Slighcarp (Stephanie Beacham) mysteriously turns up at the Hall, bearing news that Lord and Lady Willoughby have gone missing overseas and that she will henceforth be in charge of the house and the children's education.

Twenty monologues for women

Twenty monologues in this volume which range from the deeply serious to the extravagantly comic and accessible to a wide range of audiences

"The pieces are comic, grotesque, on purpose. First of all because we women have been crying for two thousand years. So let's laugh now, even at ourselves" - Franca Rame

"Set at the point where reality and ideology rub up against each other, [these] monologues are vivid, concise and entertaining comments on the female condition...comic-but-angry, raw-but-precise" - Independent
