When a young anarchist dies in police custody, the Maniac rains hell on the police force!
Tom Basden’s incredibly witty adaptation of Dario Fo’s classic satirical farce heads to modern London with Daniel Rigby starring as the Maniac in a jaw-dropping performance. It’s the most absurd police enquiry of the year and you don’t want to miss it.
Following the death of a young, falsely-accused anarchist in police custody - the force is condemned by the general public. As they prepare for an inquiry into the incident, an unhinged showman known as the Maniac is arrested and begins to wreak havoc as he seizes the opportunity to put on a show, one that is an absurd recreation of their version of events. In his exposition, he reveals the cover-ups, corruption and deep idiocy of an institution hanging from a thread. Through his probing, hilarious, and startling investigation, the Maniac demonstrates himself as a hero of the people and a nightmare of the police.
Originally written by Dario Fo and Franca Rame Accidental Death of an Anarchist is newly adapted by Tom Basden and directed by Daniel Raggett. Accidental Death of an Anarchist stars BAFTA-winning actor, comedian, and writer Daniel Rigby, who aside from his extensive work in television, theatre and film, is a well-known stand-up and live comedian.
