A satirical comedy by Dario Fo
Based on an adaptation by Ed Emery

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 institutional corruption and abuses of power within Government and the Judiciary and the terrifying idiocy at the heart of the system.

A comedy by Paul Elliott
Directed by Andrew Govey
Assistant Director: Karen Tropiano

When the biggest highlight in your life for the past 30 years has been your weekly bridge night out with the “girls”, what do you do when one of your foursome inconveniently dies?

If you’re Connie, Leona and Millie, three southern ladies from Birmingham, you do the most daring thing you’ve ever done.

You “borrow” the ashes from the funeral home for one last card game, and the wildest, most exciting night of your lives involves a police raid, a stripper and a whole new way of looking at all the fun you can have when you’re truly living.

Performance Dates: February 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28 at 7.30pm and Sunday February 22 at 2pm
