The play is a farce based on events involving a real person, Giuseppe Pinelli, who fell - or was thrown - from the fourth floor window of a Milan police station in 1969. He was accused of bombing a bank (the Piazza Fontana bombing).\u00a0Dario Fo's mischievous yet haunting work is set in a police station, where outside a crowd has gathered to protest the \"accidental\" death of an anarchist who supposedly fell from the precinct window. The play is dominated by a seeming madman who has been apprehended by the police, released, but keeps hanging around while changing identities, gradually forcing the political truth from the other characters.<\/p>\n
