About The Event
Ek Aur Durghatna is the Indian adaptation of Accidental Death of an Anarchist, the internationally acclaimed political satire by Italian playwright Dario Fo, adapted into Hindi by Amitabh Shrivastava.
First written in 1970, Accidental Death of an Anarchist is widely regarded as one of the finest works of modern political satire in world theatre. Inspired by the real-life death of an Italian railway worker and anarchist during a police investigation, the play employs farce, mistaken identities, razor-sharp wit, and absurd humour to expose institutional corruption, abuse of power, police brutality, and the manipulation of official narratives.
The play has been widely appreciated for its incisive satire, engaging theatricality, and enduring relevance and continues to be performed by numerous theatre groups across India, carrying forward the legacy of one of the world's most celebrated political comedies.
