'An Italian classic reborn as an unmissable police satire' Metro

An irrepressible fraudster known only as the Maniac is brought into Police Headquarters just as the officers are preparing for a judicial review of the recent 'accidental' death of a suspect in custody.

Outwitting his captors, the Maniac dupes them into performing a farcical recreation of the incident, exposing the absurd corruption and terrifying idiocy at the heart of the system.

A fun and exciting challenge for a flexible ensemble of seven to eight actors with a fantastic lead role for a comic performer this full-blooded adaptation from the BAFTA-nominated Tom Basden is both hysterically funny and deeply political, offering an unforgettable night out for audiences.
