Hit West End production of the classic satirical farce which ran at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 2023, gaining multiple 5-star reviews. Originally written by Dario Fo, this new production was adapted by Tom Basden.
The play starred BAFTA winner Daniel Rigby as 'The Maniac', an unhinged showman who is brought in for questioning following the death of a young anarchist whilst in police custody. He proceeds to wreaks havoc when he decides to recreate the events surrounding the death, revealing the cover-ups and idiocy at the heart of the police.
Described by one reviewer as “an absolute riot – a belly-aching tour-de-force” (West End Best Friend), it was also nominated for Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play at the 2024 Olivier Awards.
Tom Andrews also starred as Detective Daisy.
