Details

A man is taken to the fourth floor of a police station, accused of planting a terrorist bomb. A few hours later he is found dead on the pavement outside. The policemen involved have difficulty remembering the exact details of the event... 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.
