Translated by Ed Emery. Directed by Troy Ridgway

A play as absurd and paranoid as the times in which we live. Corruption, it is everywhere and just that little bit silly.

A man has fallen to his death from a police station window. Did he jump or was he pushed? The cops want a cover up, but first they have to contend with an unlikely detective – a certified lunatic with a knack for impersonation.

Written by Italian Nobel laureate Dario Fo in 1970, this farce with a political sting in its tail has become an absurdist classic. It’s a glorious battle of the individual against the establishment, of underdog against overlord, of anarchy against tyranny. Contemporised, this translation of the classic farce proves that even fifty years on it is a play that still holds relevance.
