Accidental Death of an Anarchist is mainly about police corruption, underscored
by the play's focus on impersonation, infiltration, and double-talk.
A fast-talking major character, the Maniac, infiltrates police headquarters.
Posing as an investigating judge, he tricks the policemen into contradicting
themselves and admitting that they are part of a cover-up involving the death of
an anarchist. In infiltrating police headquarters by misrepresenting himself
(impersonation), the Maniac reminds audiences of how most political groups in
Italy, particularly left-wing groups, were infiltrated by police agents who acted as
informers (This will, obviously, be reworked according to our current situation in
Pakistan). The Maniac's flip-flop of point of view and statement achieves much
the same effect as his impersonations do. His confusing speechifying leads to
the police contradicting themselves, so that the Maniac, in all of his deceptions
and distortions, is a precise reflection of what the play is designed to expose.

This play is inspired by the classic “Wizard of Oz”. Its protagonist is a girl who is
coping with the adversities and unpredictability of life living in a country, which is
in constant disorder.
The young girl has a dream which becomes a journey she makes, to find herself
and get courage. On her journey, she is subjected to different challenges which
she is able to successfully triumph. The play comes to an end when she reaches
the “wizard of C'oz” who tells her that she will reach home if she lights a candle,
symbolically achieving her goal, and her new redeemed self.
The play “Wizard of C'oz” essentially attempts to draw attention to the problems
being faced by the youth of Pakistan. They have to endure a myriad of emotions
as they try to think of a way of dealing with the turmoil the country is facing. The
theme of the play, is finding light, hope, an answer when the world seems to be
entrenched in extreme darkness.
“She needs to find the light”, a character says in the play.
