Dario Fo has scored again with this wicked satire of right-wing bureaucracy. The central character, known only as The Fool, is a lunatic confidence man right out of a Marx Brothers routine who walks into the police office from which an anarchist has “fallen” to his death. A brilliant “histriomaniac” and quick-change impostor, the Fool impersonates a variety of characters and in so doing tricks the addled police into re-opening the anarchist’s case and revealing all the doctored transcripts and falsified evidence. Needless to say the role of the Fool is one of the great comic parts in contemporary dramatic literature.
