Abstract
This article analyzes the paratextual commentary in six English versions of Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist. In the paratexts, translators, adaptors and literary critics engage with two problems: Fo’s permission to freely adapt his texts, on the one hand, and the demand for fidelity in a philological sense, on the other.
