From the writer behind Men Behaving Badly, Simon Nye’s version of Dario Fo’s great satire about police brutality and underground activism in 1970’s Italy has been updated and relocated to contemporary Britain. Where the forces of law order a society in such a way that journalist’s investigative skills are perverted by the need for a scandal, it takes a madman to reveal the truth!Company Mercury Theatre Company.

The characters from this riotous romp, an original stage play by [Dario Fo] set in the '70's, stop polishing their rubber bullets only to be subjected to a humiliating ordeal at the hands of the 'Maniac'. A non-stop barrage of clichés, denim, magnum 45's and bad facial hair. Meanwhile, four storeys up, a suspect, whilst under interrogation, falls from a window. The police said it was an accident but someone thinks otherwise. This visually outstanding production has a superb original musical score, brilliant lighting effects, pyrotechnics and more gags than you can shake a stick at. This fresh new version, faithful to the clear-sighted insanity of Fo's original, was created for a Royal National Theatre mobile production in 1991.Company Long Overdue Company.
