کتاب Accidental Death of an Anarchist (نسخه کامل)

The play opens with Inspector Francesco Bertozzo interrogating a clever, quick-witted and mischievous fraudster, simply known as the Maniac, in Bertozzo’s office on the third floor of the police headquarters in Milan. The Maniac constantly outsmarts the dim-witted Bertozzo and, when Bertozzo leaves the room, intercepts a phone call from Inspector Pissani. Pissani reveals to the Maniac that a judge is due at the police station to investigate the interrogation and “accidental” death of the anarchist, whilst the Maniac pretends to be a colleague of Bertozzo’s and telling Pissani that Bertozzo is “blowing a raspberry” at him. The Maniac decides to impersonate the judge, Marco Malipiero, an opportunity he’s been waiting awhile for, and to humiliate the policemen responsible for the “accidental” death. After Bertozzo reenters his office, the Maniac is forced out of the office, taking Bertozzo’s coat and hat to use in his disguise. Bertozzo chases him, running into Pissani, who punches him in retaliation for “blowing a raspberry” at him.
