Tom Basden’s new adaptation of the 1970 play is a highly entertaining and thought-provoking play that provides a critique of the political and social climate of its time. The play's blend of comedy, satire, and absurd elements makes it rather enjoyable to watch, while its hard-hitting messages revolving around the themes of corruption and police abuse of power are still relevant today. Additionally, the play is widely regarded as one of Dario Fo's masterpieces and provides insight into his unique style of political theater. The exemplary performance by Daniel Rigby, who plays the madman, wins the audience with a combination of quick wit and comedic physicality. He brings an over-the-top, side-splitting energy to his character. He is a renowned actor and comedian and received a BAFTA TV Award for his leading role as Eric Morecambe in the 2011 television film Eric and Ernie.
