AuthorTariq Ali
The minister of the interior lies dead on the couch and his wife openly confesses to his murder. Scotland Yard wants to keep the case a secret to avoid another scandal to the government. Desdemona is inflexible and wants everyone to know why she killed “the famous corpse”. Saluting Dario Fo, Tariq Alo has written a scathing political satire about death, passion and political motivation. The play was first presented at the Haymarket Theatre, June 2004.
