Review: ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST, Theatre Royal Haymarket

The play is unforgiving. It tears apart the Met Police, their brutal questioning techniques, gross negligence, finger-pointing, and the inherent duplicity of governmental affairs. It’s a refreshingly political addition to the West End.
