In this paper, we take a look back at the complex political and economic turmoil that transpired in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s, which is vividly depicted in Dario Fo’s iconic play, The Accidental Death of an Anarchist. Set in times characterised by political instability, economic stagnation and labour unrest, Fo uses biting satire to expose deep-seated corruption and abuse of power within Italian institutions especially targeting the police force and judiciary. The play critiques the state’s complicity in perpetuating systemic injustice, emphasising its oppressive impact on marginalised groups including workers women and students. Through a sharp political commentary, the play reflects the socioeconomic challenges facing them, pointing out that failure by states to address citizen's concerns is what makes power dynamics sustain inequality. By dissecting these themes, this paper underscores Fo’s call for reform, advocating for transformative societal change that would challenge institutionalized corruption, bringing about genuine justice for all oppressed people in Italy.
