When a young anarchist dies in police custody, the Maniac rains hell on the police force!
An Anarchist has fallen to his death from a police station window. But did he jump or was he thrown?
As the police prepare for an inquiry into the incident, an unhinged showman known only as the Maniac is arrested and brought into the station. Seizing the opportunity to put on a show, he leads the police in an absurd recreation of their version of events, exposing the cover-ups, corruption and profound idiocy of an institution in free-fall.
A razor-sharp satire, Tom Basden’s wickedly hilarious adaptation relocates Dario Fo’s classic farce to contemporary London and features a show-stopping performance from Daniel Rigby, as the Maniac.

Funny, satirical and up to the minute biting political commentary
A fantastic performance from the small cast, brilliantly updated for a 21st Century audience and a thoughtful staging. This was a great show, hilarious throughout but with an important political message as well. Go and see it while you can, you won’t be disappointed.
