Accidental Death of an Anarchist is a satirical play by Dario Fo that follows a compulsive imposter called 'the Maniac' who infiltrates a police station to investigate the suspicious death of an anarchist suspect, which was officially ruled an accident. Posing as a judge, the Maniac forces the police officers to re-enact the interrogation, exposing their lies, corruption, and cover-up of the real bombing perpetrators. The play is based on the real-life death of anarchist Giuseppe Pinelli.

Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island, an isolated rock near the Devon coast. Cut off from the mainland, with their generous hosts Mr and Mrs U.N. Owen mysteriously absent, they are each accused of a terrible crime. When one of the party dies suddenly they realise they may be harbouring a murderer among their number. The 10 strangers include a reckless playboy, a troubled Harley Street doctor, a formidable judge, an uncouth detective, an unscrupulous mercenary, a God-fearing spinster, two restless servants, a highly decorated general and an anxious secretary. One by one they are picked off. Who will survive? And who is the killer? Copies of an ominous nursery rhyme hang in each room, the murders mimicking the awful fates of its ‘Ten Little Soldier Boys’. .

Every drama group has experienced the horrors of what can go wrong on opening night, and the ladies of the FARNDALE AVENUE HOUSING ESTATE TOWNWOMEN'S GUILD DRAMATIC SOCIETY are no different, with the possible exception that almost everything that could happen does! The scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines forgotten, and the sound effects take on a strange note at times, as the ladies present their ambitious evening's entertainment with the cunning whodunit, Murder At Checkmate Manor.
