Based on the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing in Milan, and subsequent death of a man in custody, the play follows a quick-witted and tricky fellow, known only as ‘The Maniac’, as they manipulate, confuse and outwit the local police force through a variety of sinister yet hilarious disguises, tricks and misdirections. It is a play that is as starkly appropriate to the misdemeanours and malpractice of today’s police as it was in the 1970s, taking aim at incompetency and idiocy.

"Fo’s cleverly written play is more than competently handled by this bright and exciting company who delightfully wring every bit of comedy and drama from it, entertaining hilariously on one level whilst carefully taking us on a journey of questioning not only what we are presented with but how and why...the company are to be applauded for not only being brave enough to bring this insightful and witty play back to much deserved life, but to deliver it in such an engaging and comic manner."*****
