Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, in a new adaptation by Tom Basden

In this riotous satire, 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.
