The next time the G20 comes to town, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is ready, PM Stephen Harper is ready, Police Chief Bill Blair is ready. So when a bomb goes off downtown, scores of protesters are rounded up right away. Everything is going smoothly until an anarchist organizer falls to his death from a window during interrogation. Police reports say it's an accident. And that it's a suicide. A lone maniac tries to discover the truth. What was the Mayor doing at the police station that night? Based on Dario Fo's classic 1970 clown show, Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Matt Jones's adaptation is a pre-emptive attack on Toronto's new political landscape.

Director Rick Roberts transposes A Midsummer Night's Dream into the 20th century with few props or colours, but this minimalist approach is the ideal contrast to the comedy's froth and fury. Roberts' vision allows the play's treatment of tyranny -- parental, monarchical, and magical -- and romantic tomfoolery to shine through.
